Had a quick two night stay in Athens at Aris’s place and had a great time. The bedroom and the bathroom are clean and perfectly comfortable for a solo traveler or a couple. The courtyard is a beautiful space and the view of the Acropolis from the window can’t be beat. The location is unbeatable with the Metro around the corner and plenty of bars and restaurants around. The area can be crowded and loud, but since the rooms are on the top floor you get a sense of seclusion. Aris was easy to communicate with and was there to meet me in person as he lives on the floor below.
One thing to note is that the entrance to the apartment is down a graffitied and dark (at night) alley. May deter some people, but Aris is always there to welcome first timers and there are people walking around the area at all hours.
