We LOVED our stay at Sokol’s house and Marilena was the best host. Upon arriving, we were a little intimidated by the outside appearance, as we were not familiar with Athens yet. But inside, we were pleased with everything and felt very safe and secure. We walked around the neighborhood, and everyday the short walk to neighboring Pysiri and Monastiraki Square for great food, shopping and to catch the metro. We often came back to the apartment at night and never had any issues.
The apartment was sparkling clean and everything is new and stylishly decorated. The thoughtful touches, like a built in purified water filter and pitchers of it waiting for us in the fridge, and shampoo and conditioner in the shower, made our trip hassle free and easy. The taxi cab they can arrange for you if you ask them to was a great perk: having a friendly driver waiting for us at the airport when we arrived was just what we needed. When I asked where to get a SIM card so I could use my phone in Greece, she offered to find me one. She was ready to meet my every need. We had a wonderful stay in this cozy apartment. It was just big enough for us and our two children, all we needed for such value!
