My stay in Athens was incredible! Although I did not personally meet Monika, she kept in touch with me via messages and provided me with helpful directions from the airport to her apartment. I felt at home in Monika's apartment for several reasons: the bedroom was large and comfortable and the air conditioning was highly appreciated; the kitchen was large and equipped with great appliances which I used to cook my meals and make coffee (FYI saved me A LOT of money for my food budget, grocery store right by the apartment). The apartment is located right by the bus stop, however I never used the bus/metro system. If you are up to the challenge and love to walk, you can enjoy long walks to all the sites in Athens and most importantly, I felt safe walking alone. Thanks for the stay, Monika! I look forward to exploring Greece again in the future.
