Mike was an excellent host- responsive, knowledgeable and fun. He introduced the neighbourhood on arrival (it's overwhelming with maze-like streets and graffiti everywhere) but this local insight made my trip amazing and the city accessible. I haven't had a better introduction elsewhere.
Hipster bars and restaurants are just downstairs. Acropolis is a 15 min walk, metro just 5 mins away. I walked and didn't really use the metro.
The apartment was clean, well designed and spacious. Be prepared to walk up 15-20 steps before elevator. Small touches like milk and juice in the fridge, BBC on TV made a difference and really shows Mike's thoughtfulness.
Thanks for an incredible stay, Mike. I will definitely return for my next trip :)
