Vassilis was warm and welcoming in person; he went out of his way to answer our needs (including showing up at the door within 10 minutes of our question to demonstrate how his washing machine worked). The living room in particular was stylish and great for relaxing after a day out. We enjoyed being based in a neighborhood filled with locals, not tourists—as well as the cheaper prices from being in such a place, as Vassilis pointed out rightly. Travel wasn’t an issue—we could get to Plaka by foot in 20 mins or so. Great pita and souvlaki can be had just across the street at The Big Bad Wolf. Highly recommend this place, and its top-notch host!
