Karima was an amazing host! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all of our questions. We arrived several hours later than we expected, but Karima was very understanding and flexible. She greeted us at the door with her adorable newborn, and made us feel welcome at the studio. She even got us delicious pastries and gave us a list of awesome restaurant recommendations!
The studio was great -- very clean, comfortable, and well furnished. The neighborhood is safe and residential, and a 15 min walk away from the Acropolis. It's not a neighborhood with many cafes/restaurants, but these are very easy to get to! It's only a 25 min walk from Plaka (the hip area filled with bars) or a super quick taxi ride away. If you enjoy walking around and would like to avoid the more touristy neighborhoods while also staying very close to the Acropolis, this is the perfect place! Needless to say, I really enjoyed staying at Karima's studio and would definitely recommend it to someone visiting Athens!! :)
