Emerald Cozy Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Emerald Cozy Apartment? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet little street – Ρωμανού Μελωδού – that most tourists completely miss, but you’re literally a three-minute walk from all the Medieval Town chaos. I mean, you can hear the evening buzz from the main streets if you really listen, but honestly, it feels like you’ve found this secret pocket of Rhodes Town where locals actually live.

The apartment itself lives up to that “cozy” name without being cramped, which is honestly rare for places in the old town. The owner clearly gets that travelers need space to actually unpack and spread out a bit – there’s this nice balance between having character (we’re talking stone walls and traditional touches) and modern comfort. The kitchen’s properly equipped too, not just some tiny corner setup, which comes in handy since the local market on Sokratous is right there and you’ll definitely want to grab fresh tomatoes and that incredible local honey. What really impressed me was how quiet it stays at night – I was expecting street noise or maybe sounds from neighboring apartments, but the thick walls do their job. You’ll sleep well here, even during the busy summer months when Rhodes Town can get pretty lively.

The location thing is what makes this place special though. Most people think staying in Rhodes Town means dealing with cruise ship crowds all day, but being on this particular street means you can duck out of the tourist flow whenever you need to. There’s a little café about two blocks down that locals actually use – not the overpriced spots right by the Palace of the Grand Masters. Plus, if you’re planning to explore beyond the medieval walls, you’re close enough to walk to Mandraki Harbor in maybe ten minutes, and the bus stops for beach runs are super accessible. The 9.5 rating makes total sense once you stay here – it’s not trying to be some fancy resort, but it nails the things that actually matter when you’re exploring a place like Rhodes. The check-in was smooth, the space feels like home pretty quickly, and you’re positioned perfectly to experience both the historic charm and the real Greek island life happening just outside those ancient walls.

• Stephen from Australia – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  Very responsive host. Very clean apartment. Great location and neighbourhood.
  
  What could be improved: A microwave would have been useful, but it is nevertheless a very well equipped apartment.

• Michael from Germany – 13 September 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was great. The apartment is quite spacious, very clean and has two balconies. The two hosts were extremely friendly and communicated very well – they even recommended a free city concert to me which I would not have been able to find myself. Overall great experience.

• Bruno from Italy – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  Appartamento nuovo e attrezzatissimo. Host molto disponibile e gentile. Posizione strategica 5 minuti a piedi dalla porta di ingresso alla città medievale e 20 minuti dalla città nuova, si trova in zona residenziale molto tranquilla.
  
  What could be improved: Migliorerei la qualità del materasso perchè per noi basso e duro.
