It's a comfortable home, indeed close to several interesting places to visit in Athens and only a few minutes walking from a metrostation. It is situated just between old and new: Technopolis, where we visited an international jazz festival, and Akropolis. The building in general is quiet. There is a big bedroom at the backside where you don't hear the street. In the bedroom at the frontside of course you hear something but the street is not busy and the windows are pretty well isolating with double glass.
Marlen was very helpfull and it was nice meeting her. Because my girlfriend and I both are interested in music, she gave us a list of Greek musicians.
Because of the heat in the summer, Athens comes to live in the evening, someone had told us before. It's true. We, from Holland, adopted fast to the Greek ritm: got up early, several times had a nap during the afternoon and went out in the neighbourhood after nine pm or so.
