Evi and Haroula are wonderful hosts. Evi (the daughter) communicated with us upon booking and provided us with clear transportation directions and sightseeing recommendations. She also kindly informed us of an upcoming ferry strike leading up to our stay, which she said could affect our flights—and I’m so glad she did as we learned our flight to Athens had been rescheduled (something our travel booking site never updated!).
Haroula (the mother, who lives one floor below) greeted us upon our arrival and was very warm and welcoming. She showed us around the apartment and had a nice bowl of fresh cherries ready for us.
The apartment is stylish and well-equipped, making it a good home base for those visiting Athens. It is around a 20-30 minute walk to most of the main sights—shorter by metro, but due to a strike we walked everywhere during our two-night stay. We felt a bit unsafe walking back at night as some of the surrounding blocks were a bit off the beaten path, but the apartment felt very secure.
We had a very comfortable stay and recommend Evi and Haroula’s place. We thank them both for their wonderful Greek hospitality!
