Vivian’s place greatly exceeded my expectations. I stayed for a little over a week and felt very at home. The bed was very comfortable with lots of soft pillows, the whole place was very clean, and most of the little things I needed or might have forgotten were there (for example an outlet specifically for a phone charger to plug into, soothing lotion for my sunburn, a wine bottle opener, a pitcher of water, honey for my Greek yogurt, guidebooks for Athens).
The location was also better than I thought it would be! I was a solo female traveller and I didn’t feel unsafe going out alone. I did avoid going out alone at night time but that was for my personal comfort.
Above all, Vivian was the perfect host! She went above and beyond to pick me up from airport for a very small charge, did my laundry, and was always quick to respond to my questions/requests. Also she had many amazing recommendations for things to do around Athens. I would definitely recommend any of her places to my friends and family!
