We had the best time in Athens and we loved staying at Nancy & Nasir's place. They were away for the weekend so their son Fivos greeted us and was so helpful. He showed us the place and then gave us advice about how to get around Athens.
They left us snacks, water and toiletries.
The place is perfect for up to 3 people and is in a good area. The local coffee is lovely and the metro is easy to get into the centre but we just caught 15 Euro cabs.
The place is safe and N&N are only the house above if you need anything.
It's the ideal spot for a few nights is you're on your way to the islands!
