We were warmly greeted by Dimitris at the Metro station as promised & led on the 3 minute walk to the apartment.
It was a pleasure to leave the chill night & enter the warm flat where Dimitris had put on BBC World News on the tv to make us feel welcome. He had also gone to the trouble of providing wine, & food which, along with a fully charged tablet for our use, was much appreciated.
All the fixtures & fittings were explained before he left with the instruction to phone if we needed anything else.
The flat itself fully lived up to the photos & description on the website being tastefully decorated & furnished with D seemingly having thought of everything for his guests comfort & convenience.
The roof terrace is great by day & night giving, along with the windows on 3 sides, a light & spacious feel to the whole flat.
Everything has been well worked out & the 3 of us were always happy to return to the flat no matter what the weather.
The area is certainly not smart but workaday & felt safe with some food shops, bars, cafes & restaurants in easy walking distance.
Access to all the main sights of Athens is only a few stops away via the smooth running & incredibly cheap Metro (10euros for a 5 day ticket !) but as in all capital cities do watch out for pickpockets.
Thanks for a great stay D & we'll be recommending your home from home to any
friends planning to visit Athens. All the best for the future.
