This was a very special place for me. I stayed quite a long time, over two weeks, because I wanted to really explore and get to know the city of Athens. When airline delays resulted in me arriving on a dark street a two in the morning, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I received was the warmest of welcomes. Over the course of my stay I was privileged to get to know Nancy and Nasir--they are the sort of people a traveler always hopes to find. I experienced tremendous warmth, friendship and hospitality staying here.

The apartment is small, private and quite beautiful. The neighborhood is Kolonos, so you are slightly outside the main tourist areas. It's a safe, residential urban neighborhood, and just by walking 5-10 minutes to the metro all of Athens in only minutes away. (The Athens metro system is great, easy to use and never a long wait.) For a couple or single traveler wanting to meet some wonderful people, have a comfortable and affordable apartment, and get a taste of life in Athens, I highly recommend this place.
