The house was just about perfect with one major exception. When we showered the first evening there was a hideous sulphur smell that filled the home. We later found out from mgmt that this was common - if hot water is not used for a period of time the bacteria in the water heater grows and emits a strong sulphur smell. We were instructed to run all the showers/hot water for at least 30 minutes to drain the water heater and let it refill. This resolved the issue, however, given this is a known problem, it should have been taken care of by property mgmt before we arrived. We not only had to deal with the odor for a few hours in the evening prior to going to bed, we also were concerned about the safety of the water overall. Plus, one of us needed to take time out of our stay to be in the villa the next day while water was running. Of course, this also meant once again needing to deal with the odor. Quite simply, guests should not be made to perform what is a maintenance task, nor should they be made to deal with the nastiness of the smell and stress over the quality of the water. It is extraordinary that a known problem was not troubleshot before our arrival. Had the hot water been run in the morning, the odor would have been detected, the heater drained, and the sulphur gas smell gone by the time we checked in. In addition, when we moved the fan located in the third floor to the first floor to help with removing the sulphur odor, we learned the fan did not work. Perfect.
