It would be difficult to imagine a better experience than staying at Loukas' place. It couldn't have been closer to to the Athens metro. Right downstairs was a great coffee shop and grocery stores were only a few steps away. The place was sparkling clean and well appointed. Although we didn't cook much, you certainly could have as the apartment included a cook top and a stove along with all necessary pots, pans, etc. Loukas was very attentive and communicative throughout our stay beginning with meeting us at the apartment even tough we arrived very late (around midnight). He even allowed us a late checkout to accommodate our late flights home.
