Anastasia and Nora were wonderful hosts, very communicative and friendly and hospitable. The apartment was perfect for our stay, it’s tastefully decorated with Anastasia’s paintings and you can have your breakfast in the secluded garden. There’s space to spend some hours working if you need to and on the whole there’s a very relaxed vibe. There are two really sweet dogs and two cats which makes this place perfect for animal lovers. After the first day the dogs knew us and didn’t bark anymore when we entered the house. The neighbourhood Exarchia is covered in political graffiti and there are a lot of social centres and other political activities going on that were very interesting to learn about. There’s a small hill behind the house with a view of the entire city, and a great and very scenic vegetable market on Saturdays. Also lots of cosy cafes and lively tavernas. It feels like a very ‘local’ neighbourhood so especially if you’re into politics and animals as we were you’ll feel right at home.
