Irene is a wonderful person and amazing host! Her apartment is spotless and welcoming and I really appreciate that she had some food items in the fridge. It’s a kind gesture that goes a long way. She waited for me until I arrived and gave me a lot of information about her place and the area. The location is really special. Thiseo is one of the best neighborhoods in Athens and VERY safe. Walking distance to EVERYTHING. The view, of course, is amazing! The AC was a blessing, especially with Athens summer heat. And the local restaurants were excellent, too!
I also appreciated the beautiful woodwork that her father created: cabinets and dining storage...such amazing hand-made work. Wow!
My only small issues were that the bed was very hard, but I realize that this is personal and some people like it. I slept on the couch, which was better for me. You might prefer a strong mattress.
Also, the WiFi was very weak and I restarted it a number of times to no avail. If you are only using the internet a little bit, it’s not a big deal, but if you need to do some actual work, it will be a challenge.
Overall, I found this beautiful apartment to be a great value and really enjoyed my stay. As I said, Irene is really great and I hope I can stay with her again. Honestly, even with the small issues I had, I didn’t want to leave. :)
