This was our first visit to Greece. Thus, it was no surprise at all that we had some reservations and anxiety regarding our trip to a country whom we do not speak nor understand the language. All of these though disappeared as soon as we arrived. Our host had been very gracious in giving us ideas on what to expect on our trip. The transfer from the airport to the place was made easy with a trustworthy and safe transportation arranged by our host. The driver was pleasant and friendly and tried her best to communicate with us despite the language barrier. The check in was flawless and hassle free. Her brother was very friendly and helpful. He even gave us his personal number to contact in case any needs arise. Having been sleepless and tired from our flight, it was comforting to realize the host made us feel so welcome and at home. The place was clean. The linens were spotless. The bed felt was comfortable and the pillows as soft as mine back home. To our delight, the bathroom and shower were clean and spotless and provided with clean towels, soap, shampoo, etc. We were also very pleased that she went above and beyond what is expected by providing us with goodies that helped us experience the local culture such as local wine, local beer, local cookies and sweets. She also had provided us with a map which clearly showed the attractions in Athens and guided us on our trip. And for those who loves to cook, her kitchen had enough stuffs that you can use to cook breakfast or any meal for that matter. There is a grocery nearby which was perfect for us. And for those workaholics who has to bring work during vacation, her internet speed was descent compared to other places we had been. Needless to say, we had fun on the initial leg of this trip due to our ever gracious host. I strongly recommend her to anyone who will visit Athens, Greece.
