We stayed at Manolis's apartment in Athens for one week and we thought it was absolutely beautiful. The design of the complex and apartment itself was light, modern and spacious - the balcony was huge and very private!
The area is a short 5-10 min taxi trip (only 3,50 Euros for a taxi!) into the main part of town and was surrounded by some nice bars and places to eat.
Manolis was a great host and came to meet us even though our flight to Athens arrived late in the evening. His tips for our first time in Athens were fantastic and he was always quick to reply to any queries we had or advice we sought throughout the week.
The only issue we had was the unavailability of the pool, however we did not feel as though we lost out as the apartment and Athens in general made up for this! We also understood it was not Manolis's fault (previous guests had ruined this for him), and I am sure he will get it back into availability for future guests.
Overall we loved our stay in Athens and in Manolis's flat, and would absolutely recommend both to anyone interested!
