There's a wok in the kitchen!!! Wow!!!
Location:
- The closest grocery store, AB, is seconds away and has everything you need for basic meals. The bigger chain, Sklavenitis, is about a 20 minute walk away.
- The closest metro station is Syggrou-Fix, about 15-20 minutes walk away. There are also bus stops up and down Veikou street which can take you there if you don't want to wait.
- Mouseion Hill is about 10 minutes walking away, and is one of the ways to walk directly to the Acropolis. It also has some cool monuments and light hiking!
- I didn't have a car or bike when I stayed here, but found it quite easy to get around on foot and with my transit card.
- The area feels safe. I didn't feel anxious walking home at night.
The interior is pretty spacious considering the central location. We made use of the washer, drying rack, and full kitchen -- which also has some nice things like a wok (!!) and a sandwich press. All of the furniture is comfortable, and it is beautifully lit by the afternoon to early evening sunlight outside. Multiple reviews have gone over this before, but the interior is also quite stylish and colorful -- it really feels like a home someone lives in, and not an ordinary sanitized rental property. (It also was quite clean.)
Illias was very kind and accomodating to us, going so far as to stay up well past midnight after our flight was delayed so he could ensure our check-in was smooth. He gives very detailed instructions and is quite responsive. I was horribly clumsy while cleaning the dishes one morning and ended up breaking several of them (be careful with the dish holder above the sink!) -- Illias didn't get upset with us, and was very understanding and reasonable about the situation. (Sorry again!!)
We enjoyed our stay!!
