It's my annual tradition to spend my birthday in a different country each year. This year, I picked Greece and chose to stay at Angelos' place and I couldn't have made a better decision! The apartment is quite vintage/retro with equally vintage decorations. It's close to the Agios Nikolaos station (about a 5-minute walk if you know where you're going) and it takes just 10 minutes by subway to get to the center (Monastiraki) and just a few minutes more to the Acropolis. Basically, it's close to practically everywhere you'd need to go while visiting Athens. The shops nearby are lovely as are the people who work there. Oh, and there's a lovely old man who's a neighbor. AC in the bedroom worked well, which was a godsend in the Athenian summer heat, and all the other amenities were great. Angelos and his family also made my birthday vacation very special and I'm so happy I met them! I would stay here again in a heartbeat when I come back to run a marathon from Marathon to Athens if it's available. :) Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
