Amalia welcomed me by picking me up at the bus stop near her house and offering me fresh fruit from the garden. Her home is in a quiet neighborhood, what many people would consider to be a village, with winding roads lined with trees and the sound of roosters throughout the day. It's 4 km from Filerimos, the mountain with a famous monastery. Amalia offered me a bicycle to get to the beach and supermarket with, which was very helpful. Besides a bus stop, supermarket, and the beach (which is a 20 minute bike ride away) there isn't much in the neighborhood, so this location best serves travelers interested in being in a quiet, remote space. Amalia was kind enough to drive me to Filerimos when I said I wanted to visit and she was always available whenever I knocked on her door with questions.
I found it difficult finding the home on a map and got lost often. I speak Greek and asked for directions and locals on neighboring streets also didn't know the address. If going in the direction of Rodos or Filerimos, the roads near the home are mostly empty without cafes or other commercial sites, so being lost was particularly difficult.
I asked before making the booking if the WiFi would work well and Amalia assured me it would, but the WiFi was not working in my apartment or the neighboring apartment or garden. She said she purchased an extension for the router and that it was just upstairs, but her home is three stories and there are 10+ people living there, so the WiFi doesn't work in the bottom floor apartments. I recommend coming with a portable internet hotspot if you have access to one.
The apartment was not completely clean (food in the fridge, counters had some dirt and dust, some dishes needed to be washed before used). The kitchen was a bit difficult to use as well; the oven shook when used and there were very limited supplies to work with (one large frying pan and pots to boil water, no salt, pepper, oil or other basics).
Amalia was very kind in every interaction I had with her, and on my last day, when she saw me admiring her jasmine tree, she offered me a handful of flowers for my trip. If you are two or more people and you'd like a quiet, peaceful home, this space may be perfect for you. I wish Amalia and her family the best of luck.
