George’s place was the perfect launch point for our first visit to Athens. Situated in the hipster part of town, it’s surrounded by cool bars and cafes and is a short 15-20 minute walk into the more central/touristy area. Except for to and from the airport we didn’t catch the metro once, happily walking to everywhere (yes even to the acropolis). The walk into town takes you past the beautiful national gardens and many Greek government houses so you get to see the guards dressed in their traditional uniforms and may even chance upon the changing of the guard like we did, which is quite the show.
George’s place itself is as stunning and spotless as the pics show and while we didn’t meet him, his communication and tips before and while we were there were flawless. A genuinely lovely guy who made sure we had a great trip.
Make sure you explore the bars in the area and have a frappé down in the square on a weekend if you’re there.
Next time we’re back in town, we’ll definitely stay there again. Thanks George!
