We stayed 4 nights at Dora's house, inside the walls of the Medieval Town of Rhodes. We really loved the location - walking distance to a mini market, cafes and restaurants and the most importantly to the Master's Place and one of the gates (we had a car and drove around the island quite a bit - you are not allowed to drive inside the city). The house was very quiet and clean. If you don't like cats - be aware, that Rhodes is full of cats, but particularly on this alley one lady is feeding many of them and as a result it can get smelly outside on a hot day.
Booking the place with Dora was easy and due to possible air controllers strike she even made us a special offer if we needed to stay longer. Dora was not in town during our visit, so her daughter Rosa took care of us. She kindly let us stay passed check out time, which was awesome, as we had a late flight back to Athens.
She also left some provision for us (e.g. Milk, coffee, jam, laundry detergent etc.) The garden is beautiful. We would just recommend covering up the top of the dining area, as it gets very sunny and hot during a day.
Over all we had fantastic time at Rhodes and really enjoyed staying as locals...what a difference compare to big hotels!!!
Make sure you make it to Furnariko - local bakery with great coffee, prices and kind service! Say hello to Yasser. They also have fantastic pizzeria and Greek/sea food place - not touristy at all!!
