I was lucky to find Homer and Isabella's “Island in the Sky” available on short notice for a stopover in Athens. It was a perfect crash pad for me for one night. But I was sad to leave the next morning without the chance to explore the very cool neighborhood or the host’s extensive list of recommend places to visit all over Athens.
The large patio under the sky was awesome! The view is mostly of neighboring rooftops, but you also see the hills around the city and a peekaboo view if the Acropolis. The apartment’s location on the top of the building allows for plenty of light and airflow.
Coffee, tea, sugar, coffee makers and a bottle of water were provided. Many shops and cafes for all manner of food and provisions are just outside the front door.
