After reading many reviews on Air B&B, we chose the apartments from Eleni and it was a good decision. It is so well located as most people have said. There are good coffee shops and many eateries very nearby. The beach is a short walk. We did not rent a car but took buses during our stay and the bus stop is a short walk from the apartment The public buses (week-long pass 27 euros) cover most of the eastern coast and another line (picked up at Rhodes-different company with very fair ticket prices) covers the West Coast. We had many interesting excursions with on time busses, great drivers and comfortable rides.
Eleni and her husband are so very kind and always available to talk, ask questions and just feel you have a "family" away from home. There is an orchard with chickens behind the apartments. Early morning is a cacophony of roosters from around that area crowing to announcethe rising sun. I am a farm girl so this was really GREAT! Many beautiful sunrise skies bring morning to the small but adequate deck where we had our first coffee each day. The apartment is very clean, plenty of hot water, a serviceable kitchen and plenty of space and storage. Eleni is very kind and wants everyone to enjoy Rodas. Her husband is a 3rd generation sandal maker and the 4th and 5th generations are in training. They are true Rhodians.
After a day of excursions on the island, we were so grateful to come back to this quiet (there are busses that go down the street to a hotel at the end of the road - but we adjusted to it) and relaxed area to close our day.
