Rita is a lovely person with such a special home, if you do get the chance to stay here I would take it! The location: DREAM, the view from the sofa alone is just perfection. The rooftop, which I had all to myself the entire stay, showcases exactly why Greece is on the bucket list of most people. I felt very privileged to have the experience of lounging and reading under the shade, amongst the gorgeous flowers, small birds popping by to say hello, surrounding me a most stunning view of not only Acropolis but Lecabittus Hill and more. The home is decorated sweetly without clutter yet still maintains it’s own personality, there are personal family touches abound from the hand-sewn vintage curtains to the hand drawn portraits adorning the walls. You will feel safe and with complete privacy but in a way which never imposed you might be privy to the distant sounds of conversations of family around the table, a piano lesson floating in the air, a man singing while quietly playing some blues, Athenian life going on around you but in the distance. (nothing that will bother you but only enrich your experience), sounds that may momentarily linger past you remind you that are surrounded by good people and living amongst locals of this most unique area of this city. The beds, bedding, pillows, SO comfortable, nothing vintage about the crisp, white, and immaculate bedding with a thread count which will not disappoint! Rita as a host is the perfect blend of making sure you have everything you need without ever bothering, so if you need anything or have any questions this is the host who, while you stay in the very home she grew up in, wants to make sure you are happy and satisfied. That along with gracious flexibility and patience for both check-in and check-out, makes Rita a wonderful host and an all around beautiful example of the great heart and mindset of a kind and dynamic Athenian woman. All the best to you Rita!
