This is my second year staying in Neos Kosmos with Yannis. I plan to stay with him again this trip and next year. Yannis is the perfect host - kind, personable and helpful.
The reason that I stay in Neos Kosmos is that I love the neighborhood. Everything you need is located near the apartment. You'll feel like a local, not a tourist as you visit the coffee shop, small market, ice cream shop, and the restaurant, Tram for souvlaki. If you want to leave the neighborhood - the metro offers an easy way to get every where in Athens.
The apartment is basic -- but offers everything we need - kitchen, two bedrooms with excellent air conditioning, and a bathroom with a shower. Recently, Yannis installed solar hot water, so you no longer need to turn the hot water on.
As I mentioned, we will be staying with Yannis when we return to Athens next week. I will be sure to book early so that I can stay at this place in 2018.
