Our stay at Lila and George's was outstanding across the board! The reason that I rated my trip as "about as expected" was because I knew it would be amazing from my correspondence with Lila and George before my trip.
The apartment is very clean, stylish, comfortable, and in a very excellent location. It's a five minute walk to the Acropolis, close to metro stations, near lots of cafés and restaurants, and within walking distance to the famed Plaka neighbourhood of Athens. It also has all of the amenities that you could need: laundry, ironing board and iron, a full kitchen, and air conditioning (which is very necessary in the Greek heat!). For those with children, a high chair and play pen/crib are also available.
Lila and George are amazing hosts who go the extra mile for their guests. A couple of weeks prior to our stay, they touched base with us to send us a link to their very own online guide to their apartment as well as their neighbourhood. It's filled with useful tips and recommendations on cafés, bars, restaurants, attractions, and entertainment options. It was very useful and much appreciated. They were also able to answer some questions that we had regarding the area in advance of our vacation. Lila and George also arranged for transportation (thank you so much, it made life much easier for us!) to and from the airport, using a network of trusted taxi drivers. These gentlemen were very personable and professional and helped to make our vacation go smoothly.
I can't recommend Lila and George's apartment (and them as hosts) enough! Every detail has been well thought out to make their guests' stay as enjoyable and smooth as possible.
