I spent three months in Athens with work and needed to arrange a place to stay which would keep me central and mobile. Steve was very patient and waited for me to receive confirmation on my mission to Athens. Furthermore, he offered a slight discount as a friendly gesture, which of course was appreciated. Even though Steve was not in Athens for most part of my stay, he made sure we stayed in touch on a regular basis as well as put me in touch with his cousin who was very helpful the few times I needed assistance with some practical issues in the apartment.
One such issue was that the fridge needed fixing as the temperature was off and food Went bad. Steve and his cousin arranged for a Company to fix the fridge and during the time the fridge was tended to, I received a replacement fridge. Excellent service!
Another issue that arose was the fact that water came out of the bathroom drain while washing machine was on, something that has to do with pipes in the buildning. Both Steve and his cousin guided me on how to handle the situation - no damage arose to the property - but it became clear that a plumber was needed. Steve did however not manage to get a hold of one Before my check out, but I am sure the issue is attended to by now.
The apartment is very well equipped with extra sheets and towels, a fully equiped kitchen - where I also left a blender and some smaller utensils - and spatious enough for the guests to work from home if necessary, something I often did.
The area is very lively, with lots of vintage shops, good restaurants, roof top bars, cafées and a vibrant atmosphere. For those of you wanting to visit Athens for a few Days, this is a great neighbourhood! Are you here for work, prepare for a higher level of noise than you would be accustomed to :-)
Overall my experience of Athens was a rewarding one, with many new friends and a bag full of new experiences.
Best wishes to Steve on his upcoming projects and once again, thank you!
