I had a great stay at Eleni's top-floor studio, which also offers a roof-top terrace with 360 views over Athens, including a glimpse of the Parthenon and a full view of Mount Lycabettus. Eleni is a genuinely warm, friendly and considerate hostess and in addition to everything else she also took the time to tell me about life in Athens and the district of Exarcheia in particular, where the flat is located. The area is lively and animated, provides all basic services, and well connected to the rest of the city. 5 x *
