I 100% recommend staying in Ilias' house. It is very spacious and beautiful. I stayed with two friends and we were all very happy with it. From practical stuff like an easy-to-use kitchen to great amenities like a cd/radio/record player and speaker system, the house was a really great way to stay in Athens. The description and pictures are accurate. No pictures could do it justice, in fact. The décor is an awesome and beautiful mix of antique and modern. It is spacious, clean, bright and cozy. The sound system is wonderful. Almost every room has big windows opening up onto a quiet but cute street. There is a grocery store right down the street and it's a quick walk to metro, bus, and tram stops. It was an easy walk to the Parthenon, and just a few minutes from Syntagma Square. We were welcomed in by Ilias' father, who showed us around the house, told us how to get different places and answered all of our questions.
