Everything about both the apartment and Christos and Lilly's hosting was wonderful!
I chose the apartment for its location in the Thession neighborhood, but was delighted to realize that it was also a very short walk from the Gazi area which is full of restaurants.
It is also just a short walk to Apostolu Paulu street which is the pedestrian pathway that leads to the Acropolis -- it really is ideal! There are a few food markets and bakeries within blocks as well, so you can save money by eating breakfast at least at home.
The apartment itself is beautiful - it is a charming Art Deco building and furnished in a classic way. It was very peaceful and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were both updated.
I did not get to meet Christos in person, but Lilly was on hand to answer questions and help out in any way.
This was my 5th stay in Athens, and I would choose this place to return to again -- you really cannot do better!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ, Λιλλη και Χριστο!
