I had a great stay at Mandy’s place. She was very quick at responding to all my many inquiries - and provided great tips on local places to eat and sights to see. The place was beautiful and very comfortable - it was well decorated, the bed was perfectly soft, and the AC was perfect for the summer heat. Mandy was also kind enough to allow me to use the clothes washer, and she thoughtfully left a few detergent packs for me to use. The neighborhood is also very safe and in trendy Plaka district, with easy walking access to many shops and restaurants. The one thing to keep in mind is that it is at the top floor without an elevator (it is a historical building) - so you will need to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs. Not a problem for me, but might be something to consider for others.
All in all, I loved my stay and would definitely go back next time I’m in Athens. Thanks again Mandy!
