this is a very stylish flat in a very interesting part of athens. it's spacious and the library in particular is very nice to work in. i had initially made the booking because of the fireplace, but the host forbids the use of the fire - a miscommunication i'm sure has now been fixed. the host is also anxious about guests using other amenities in the flat, such as the record player and soap on display in the bathroom. there is an excellent wine shop in the area and a few great restaurants, many of which were recommended with care by the hosts.
