We didn’t get to meet Eleni but we’re greeted by her niece who was coordinating our stay. Eleni’s place is in a fantastic part of Athens, really close to the historical area but also with an inner city feel. There were pop up artisan stores and cafes and bakeries which made us feel as though we were visiting present day Athens and not just the past. Everything was as expected and the house had a welcoming feel, so much better than a hotel. We really enjoyed our time there.
