Manolis' apartment is glorious. An architectural achievement worthy of its awards. Both the building and the small apartment are a pleasure to be in. The apartment has floor to ceiling windows and is bathed in light all day long. The attention to detail in its design, comfort and presentation were exceptional. I loved spending time in it!
I hadn't spent much effort researching or choosing a location, but this is a great, funky area with loads of groovy cafes, bars, restaurants and shops and only a 10-15 walk to all of the other types of 'action', including the key tourist sites. Scruffy and very liveable.
Manolis is a gracious host - a common Greek trait, I felt - one of the warmest hosts I've encountered. He was generous with excellent recommendations, welcoming and accommodating on my arrival.
An excellent experience all around and one of the few I'd be thrilled to repeat.
