We were transiting Athens on our way from the USA to India and we took the opportunity to stay for a week in Greece. On hindsight, this was not a good plan since after more than 6 weeks in the USA, we had a lot of luggage. Unfortunately the lift in the building where Francis has his loft, was not working and we had to haul up the heavy luggage. Not a pleasant experience.
However, the room was all that was mentioned and it is in a good location with all conveniences and happenings near by. We liked the thoughtful gesture of bathroom slippers provided by Francis and did miss the absence of kitchen paper towels, tissues and trash bags.
Francis made up for the initial glitch by offering massages in his near by Spa and we loved it. Thank you, Francis for your gracious gesture.
Christine, Francis's assistant is an absolute gem and we cannot thank her enough for all the advise and help she gave us (including helping me haul the luggage).
The room is spacious and well appointed. It overlooks the 'happening' street and is in a lively area. In spite of this, the room in itself is quiet, thanks to the double windows, which mask out the noise quite effectively.
Francis recommends Maria for one's local taxi needs and i too would recommend Maria, who also arranges tours. We opted for private tours and had a very good experience. She is a thorough professional and her cars and drivers were very good.
All in all, we had a good stay and experience. Thank you, Francis, Christine and Maria.
