This apartment was perfect for us. We had done a lot of research and it certainly paid off ! We wanted to go somewhere to experience real Greece not some resort that could have been anywhere. But at the same time, we wanted comfort. Jason's apartment in Gennadi provided just what we were after. We could not fault it at all. Ok no wifi but we were well aware of that before we booked and it just added to our relaxation.
As has been previously stated, the apartment is exactly as advertised, very comfortable and had all we needed. Both the apartment and grounds are maintained to a very high standard. The pool is lovely and was not at all busy while we were there.
The complex is situated two minutes walk from the village square, so two minutes (or less) to the supermarket and other shops and less than a minute to the bus stop. Despite being in such a central location it is quiet, we were not bothered by noise at all. It was really great to stay in a place where Greeks actually live.
There is a front facing balcony overlooking the street, nice to watch the world go by while privacy is maintained. Also a large balcony overlooking the pool.
The beach is 5-10 minutes away depending how fast you walk. It really is a beautiful, quiet beach, with a few sun loungers should you wish to use them (6 euros for umbrella and 2 beds).
We took the public bus to Lindos and to Rhodes town, frequent bus service which was on time. We also hired a car for 6 days and saw a bit more of the island - relaxed on beautiful secluded beaches and also took trips into the mountains and visited villages, tavernas etc.
We got a private transfer from the airport (Hoppa) which was good but quite expensive (90 euros) but we didn't mind as we didn't want to stay in one of the busier resorts nearer the airport. Transfer time 1 hour 15 minutes. Drove hire car back to airport and left it there for no extra cost. Thoroughly recommend the car hire company we used, Oasis at Kiotari (+306932599942). We ate out every night and some lunchtimes but prepared breakfast and some snacks in the apartment. Plenty of choice in the supermarket and other shops. Our favourite restaurants were Mammas (went 4 times, they could not have been more attentive and food was amazing) and Klimos fish restaurant on the beach (went 3 times, delicious!)
All in all, we loved Gennadi and really cannot recommend this apartment enough.
