The good:
- The host was always quickly responsive and cheerful on the phone (though I did not meet her in person and got and returned the key from a close-by store)
- The neighborhood is good, safe and with a minimart open until 11pm by walking distance, and a few subway stations away from Syntagma, Akropoli and other centers of interests
- The place was perfectly clean
- The studio is fully renovated in fully modern fashion
- The fridge is large
- The pressure for both hot and cold water is strong
- The wifi connection is genuinely high speed
- The atmosphere is cozy-cute.
The not so good:
- The ultra-cramped bathroom which washbasin seems to have been acquired from an airliner equipment provider, and which shower box was so tiny that I had a hard-time entering it, exiting it and washing my feet inside it, my first space shuttle experience :)
- The view from the balcony best summarized by Roger Waters: "All in all you're just a-nother brick in the wall!"
- The ultra-thin desk on which my laptop could not fit together with a small plate to eat a snack while browsing the internet
- The lack of any tablet or cabinet on which to put a toiletry bag, a shampoo, a liquid soap bottle neither around the washbasin nor inside the shower
- Being woken up at 7am everyday by the noise of a water drip coming from a higher floor apartment, so I was very glad to have brought my earmuffs with me which allowed me to be able to go back to sleep.
