The listing description was wonderful, and the house and yard were even cuter in person than in the pictures. The hosts offered two room configuration options in advance of our trip, which was extremely thoughtful. We were absolutely delighted by the charming house and wish ours at home was just like it! The amenities were perfect, the house was spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and we even had air conditioning in each room. During our stay we were able to meet some of the lovely and friendly neighbors.

The hosts made us feel so very welcome. They left us food and drinks for our first night there and coffee and tea for the whole stay--I could not believe how kind they were, going to every effort to make us weary travelers feel at home. Midway through our visit they even brought us a fruit tray. They were just so, so thoughtful.

In addition, the host family lived just behind the house, so if we needed anything at all they brought it over immediately. They offered all kinds of touring advice on restaurants to try, routes to take around Greece, and which islands to visit, which was invaluable information from locals!

The location was perfect--a short walk through the neighboring park took us right to the Acropolis! The house is near the metro and the bus stop and is in walking distance of Monastiraki. We were able to walk to most everything, including shopping, eating out, cafes, grocery stores, bakeries, sights, and Syntagma Square. We were sad to leave and want to come back and stay!
