I, along with my kids and my husband stayed at Phaidon's apt in downtown Athens for 3 days. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was exactly as described, spacious and clean and had all the necessary facilities. My kids are both teenagers and there was enough space for all of us to spread out and relax. But the location was what made it so perfect. it was walking distance to all the major sights as well as shops and restaurants.
Phaidon waited for us as we arrived at the apartment and referred us to
the places that are close by to visit. He even arranged for a taxi to
pick us up at the airport. He's such a great host and since this was our
first trip and we had planned a three day taxi ride to Delphi, Olympia
and Nafplio, Phaidon recommended his good friend Phil Cooper. Phil
rented a big van and drove us to the aforementioned spots for the next
three days. He made the whole trip so much more personal and we learnt a lot about the Greek way of life and the local food and culture from him. When I look back on the summer trips that I have taken across the globe, Greece is one of the most memorable countries that I have visited and much had to do with Phaidon and Phil Cooper. You will
never go wrong with such hosts and you would reflect back on your
experience for years to come.... So go ahead and rent that apartment
from Phaidon and enjoy Greece.
