Takis is a super-friendly, welcoming host, and communication with him was easy and trouble-free. The apartment is quiet and in a more residential area of Athens (about 15 mins from closest metro stop). Takis tried to make sure I was familiar with area and local supermarkets, coffee places, etc. Overall the apartment is older but in good condition. The bathroom has been remodeled recently and is really nice. This was a cool chance to experience a different, not-so-touristy side of Athens.
