Angeliki was a great host! From the first communication prior to booking, an extremely late welcome when we arrived in the middle of the night, ongoing recommendations and advice, right up till us asking instructions on how to lock up when we left, she was most lovely and helpful.

The room was everything we hoped it would be. As expected very warm and sunny, but we loved it and didn't use the aircon even once because you could open the big windows and the door to create pleasant breeze!

The room was small and cosy with a view that was nothing less than spectacular, both in sunlight and during some intense thunderstorms. As other guests have also mentioned, it's very hard to leave the terrace! When we did manage to tear ourselves away, we took advantage of some of the recommendations Angeliki gave us on where to eat. We enjoyed some delicious food in places we might never have tried had it not been for Angeliki.

The bathroom downstairs worked perfectly and didn't feel shared at all, but I believe a private one is being installed. There is no washing machine, so if you're there for a longer stay, you can go to a local laundromat (12 euros) or do as we did: handwash the essentials in the kitchen sink and hang to dry on the terrace!

The area is close to both supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and local shops. Very good for the independent traveller who likes street art and a vibrant cultural scene (be prepared for some late night music and chatter in the air!).

The only criticism would be very sporadic wifi access. Sometimes it worked fine, and sometimes not at all. We had been warned of this, and most times it was a relief to be offline! It would not have been as much of a problem if my partner hadn't been on a semi-work trip. In the end, we ended up managing fine with free wifi at the many local cafes, and both Angeliki and her mum were quick to respond when we did have issues. But if you're going for a work trip, be prepared not to work from the terrace!

Highlights: a fridge stocked with amazing local specialties and fruits (didn't last the whole time since it was so delicious we ate most of it the first few days!), the view of the city and even the Acropolis, private access to the room and always helpful hosts who were easy to get in touch with and very respectful of our privacy, tips from Angeliki's sweet mum Ioanna about the Greek herbs on her rooftop spice garden and how to use them!

It was awfully hard to leave, we miss it already, and we would most definitely visit again.
