Think twice before booking!
This apartment, while appearing lovely in photos, is actually located in an all night bar/nightclub/red light district.
The bars referred to are not Greek tavernas but clubs that open late and run until 5am. It may be perfect for young travelers wishing to enjoy the nightlife - but is unsuitable if you wish to get any sleep.
We booked & prepaid for a week but departed after 3 nights (due to no sleep). We expected bars and tavernas and anticipated ambient noise until late. Instead there were games arcades, a boxing game (with relentless banging throughout the night), sex clubs and all night bars with thumping music, along with drunken patrons shouting & swearing throughout the night. The apartment is only on the first floor, so in the midst of it. Glass was smashed nightly and ashtrays & bottles were thrown onto the awning below the rear balcony.
The locals we spoke to all anknowkedged it was the worst place you could stay in Rhodes unless you want to go clubbing!
The front door is steel but not soundproofed (as the windows are) so it sounds as if it is open. Even ear plugs didn't help us.
The area didn't feel safe after dark (and the thick steel door didn't make us feel any safer!).
On the opposite side, the beach front suffers from its location on the windy side of the island. It was impossible to sit on the balcony and the beach directly in front had no where to lie and the sea was too rough to swim in.
Please note the apartment also smelt strongly of sewerage which was hard to cope with as we had to keep windows shut.
While nicely furnished and relatively clean (apart from the bad smell & some bugs) this isn't an enjoyable place to stay (unless you plan to party every night of your holiday). We tried to stick it out but had to leave. We're not old but we're not all night party-goers either.
The owner was unsympathetic which was disappointing - as while the listing may state bars & some noise, he knows the truth of the location (Marina is the host not the owner so was unable to help, even though she was friendly). It's a real shame as Rhodes is a wonderful place to visit but our memories are tainted by this experience.
