Myrto is the best host you could imagine. And her apartment is beautiful, spacious , clean and in the coolest neighborhood of Athens.
From the beginning Myrto gave us great information and helped to make our journey easier. She welcomed us in the middle of the night and had food and beverages for us tired travelers which was so considerate.
She gave us great recommendations for what to do while staying in her neighborhood and she alway answered our questions fast. She also helped us arrange a taxi to the airport when we left in the middle of the night and sent us a reminder so we would not miss it . Thank you so much Myrto!
It was our first time in Athens, and we like to stay at places that are not very touristy when we travel and the neighborhood Exarchia fulfilled that perfectly, It is young and lively and you feel you can see the real life of Athenians. Myrtos place is perfectly situated in our opinion, it is quiet and cozy and away from busy streets but you only walk a few minutes and you are where all the restaurants and little kiosks are. The neighborhood has many great design stores where young artists sell their craft, also there are many book stores and vinyl record stores.
You can walk to the Acropolis within a half an hour which was great, we could really easily do all that we wanted without traveling long distances, the apartment is very central.
Athens is a great city and we fell totally in love with the people and the culture, the heat was not too difficult and that is coming from Icelanders! We just had sunscreen , water and walked in the shade if the sun was strong.
We highly recommend Myrto´s apartment to those who want to have a great time in central Athens.
