I have just returned from Rhodes where I stayed with my boyfriend for one week in Maria's apartment. We took a taxi from the airport and had no problem as it was easy to contact Maria or her brother by phone. Our taxi driver actually rang Maria's brother to check the address!! The apartment, is a studio and is ideally suited for a couple or a single traveler who want to explore the old town of Rhodes or luxuriate on the sunny roof terrace. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay and has quirks in-keeping with its Byzantine history. There is a dear balcony for sitting and listening to the local banter or having a cosy evening dinner, a kitchen area and a larger roof area for exercise, reading or relaxing. It is really charming.
The situation of being in the old town means that you have easy access to the port, to hear and see the ships, plus wander around the myriad of streets and alleyways. You can easily walk to all of the local markets and sites and there are many lovely restaurants close by. We found Nireas, La varka and Laganis to be very good; all within easy walking distance.
Maria is a very sweet person who will help you with any of your inquiries about the apartment or the area and her husband and brother are also charming and helpful. We felt at home.
We have enjoyed a very relaxing stay at llios apartment and would go back again; it was sad to leave the warmth (in all senses) and return to the British rain...:)
