We booked the place of George very spontaneously, but anyway this was no problem for George. His wife and his daughter gave us a warm welcome und melt us feel like arriving at home.
The area of the apartment is quite good. You have a supermarket about 3 minutes walk around and some cafes or a nice bakery. You can goo by feet to the center of Athens, when you like a little bit of walking and seeing all the things around. Also you can take the bus or a taxi, they are very very cheap.
The apartment ist totally awesome and fulfills all the standards you might have. It was totally clean and super modern. To find such a place in Athen is really difficult, so we felt very lucky about booking it.
Furthermore the two offerd us breakfast stuff. This was very very kind of them. It wasn't just bread an marmalade, there was fruits and special greece honey or thahin, fresh orange juice and a lot more. We really enjoyed it.
The kitchen is very nice and we cook a few times, instead of just going out for meals. This is quite perfect, when you want to save money and eat in a calm and comfortably place. But when you want to go out, you can search for Restaurants in the area of "Excharichia". This is not a typical tourist area, so there are some nicer bars, restaurants, than in the main part of Athens. You can go there by feet. We also asked George for some good restaurants, and he send us good advices which helped us out.
George put some information material and a map about the historical Athen and the areas around, in the apartment. If you want to get an overview to what you have to expect in Greece you should read some pages of it.
When you wake up, it's very nice to go on the balcony and feel the sun in your face. You could also dry, if you have, your laundry very fast here.
My brother and I totally recommend this flat for a stay in Athens. It was probably the best thing we joined in Athens :) You can totally calm down from the rush in the city and just have a great time in this apartment.
