My two teen daughters and I are spending a few days in Athens to see the sites. When we booked we had arrived already from NW Greece by bus and were tired. I booked thinking it was very close to the Acropolis. When I typed the address in I panicked! It came up 5.8 miles away! When I contacted Theo he assured me there are many similar named streets all over Athens and offered to drive us to his AirBnB. We were grateful! He was such a gentleman and helped us with our suitcase! What we found upon arrival was a welcoming space with a plant and fruit bowl in the entry, spotlessly clean and soothing atmosphere and comfortable lounge and 2 bedrooms. I was very pleased with the small but well appointed kitchen. Only thing it was missing after coming in from the theatre at late night we found it had no corkscrew! Theo had texted to ask how it was going and I mentioned the corkscrew. He offered and I accepted so I could relax and unwind with a glass of wine. The coffee we found was excellent and also he had asome food items like yogurt that my girls enjoyed. We had brought some food so mostly ate our own. We were able to have small meals in this home but most major meals we tried locally.
We enjoyed being able to walk to everything we wanted to see and do.
It is a safe neighborhood and even in the evening we felt comfortable as three women walking, with the usual awareness of surroundings that is only prudent! When we left THEO WAS ABLE TO STORE OUR BAGS FOR A FEW HOURS UNTIL WE COULD MOVE TO a new place. He even offered to take us to it since it was on his way! We enjoyed meeting this kind man. All of the Greek people we have ever met are kind, helpful and beyond giving. Thank you and God bless you and we hope to come back!
