We LOVED our stay in this lovely home in Athens!! From the moment we arrived we were greeted by Eirini who was so friendly, kind and helpful and showed us all around. She made us feel very comfortable and welcomed in her beautiful home complete with amazing furniture made lovingly by her father. She also had stocked the kitchen with cereal, bread, lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, fruit, eggs, milk, juice, water, etc. anything we could have needed was there and available to us. The home was super clean, spacious, had a beautiful indoor pool, the beds were comfy, the air conditioner was not loud and gave us the perfect temperature for our stay. It was in a quiet neighborhood and close to shops and restaurants just around the corner. There was even a farmers market outside our door during one of the days we were there. We felt super safe and all the sites were close enough to walk to. We opted not to get a rental car and we are so happy with that decision. The streets can be very narrow in places and parking would have been nearly impossible to find. Eirini even helped us to secure Covid testing we needed before returning to the US which gave us so much peace of mind.
We also had the wonderful fortune of receiving an offer from Tonya, the co-host, to take us around Athens and the surrounding areas to show us the notable sites, allow us to experience life as Greeks, and take us on a fabulous and SUPER TASTY bite-seeing tour of all the wonderful foods and drinks Greece is known for. She introduced us to so many wonderful places and along the way we became dear friends. Our trip to Greece gave our entire family memories that will last a lifetime because of the beautiful home and kind hospitality of Eirini, and our warm and wonderful companion Tonya who showed us all the beauty and deliciousness of Greece. Every experience was above and beyond our expectations and look forward to visiting this beautiful country again. We would not hesitate staying in this special "home away from home" in Athens! Thank you for being so amazing in every way!
