This is hands down the best airbnb experience we have ever had. Marios and his father are there to make your check-in easy, give fantastic recommendations and provide a clean and stylish apartment.
Its usually very easy to make an apartment clean and nice looking (which it definitely was) but the level of help and service we received was unparalleled - I felt like I had a concierge service included! We were given gifts upon leaving which was a nice final touch!
There is space to park a car outside and I would strongly recommend hiring a car to explore the various beaches and restaurants along either coast. The apartment is a 1 minute walk from an excellent bakery/coffee shop and 24hr mini shop for essentials. The walk to town is slightly longer, around 30-40 minutes, but taxis are 7 euros per trip so it is definitely do-able without a car! There is also a local beach and restaurants around 15-20 minute walk away, it is quite hilly but offers places to eat if you would rather eat locally. Marios and his father will be able to guide you on all of this.
Generally with airbnb, you see two types of hosts, 1) those that have a passion for travel and helping guests to have a good time and 2) those that are renting for the money. Marios is definitely number 1) and as a guest, you can't ask for more.
Many thanks and look forward to staying here again if we come back to Rhodes.
