Panagiota was very welcoming and interesting to spend time with. Her house is pretty much what I expected from the description and reviews. It is funky and cluttered, but idiosyncratically charming.

This was a good place to land in Athens, as Yota and other guests were around to provide company and information. The rooftop terrace with its views of the Acropolis is wonderful (though sadly the weather was not the best during my stay).

The kitchen and cooking area is cramped and lacking adequate plumbing. (Yota is working on fixing this, but it's Greece...) The acoustic separation between rooms is poor. There is no WiFi on-site, and access to local signals is spotty.
