We had a wonderful stay at Erik's place in Rhodes Town. The place is brand new, super clean and well equipped. I think it doesn't get better :-). We enjoyed lovely breakfast on the terrace which is like a extended living room to the studio. There is a donut shop right across the street where you can pick up nice pastry and good coffee. I would describe the neighbourhood as typical Greek and lively. You don't here the sound of the street when you inside of the flat as it faces the back of the building. We decided to walk in to the old town on our first day, which is a route down the hill and it takes roughly 30min. I would strongly recommend you to get back a taxi which is about 4,50 Euros. Erik was a great host, who we met on the first day. He was always available when we needed something. I would definitely recommend you the place if you are looking to spend some time away from the touristy crowed in the city centre.
