Stavroula’s apartment was a fabulous location for our stay with our two teens. This apartment was the best place to spread out and relax while enjoying Athens! Fresh bread, orange marmalade, and coffee fixins were waiting for us upon arrival at the apartment. The neighborhood is very quiet and residential, and it feels like 'real' Athens, but also close enough to walk to all the main sites and terrific restaurants, lots of grocery stores, pharmacies, and cute shops.
Stavroula’s tile store is just down the block from the house and she and her assistant, Rossina, were seemingly always at the store to help us and just to visit and help us with planning fun things. The BEST thing that Stavroula connected us with was the location of warehouse of old things, including beautiful salvaged tile. Stavroula was instrumental in helping us figure out how we could get the tile home – she was clearly excited to be on this hunt with us which was so sweet! Ultimately we bought a few new pieces of luggage and divided the tile into 40 pound carry-ons. Of course then we needed an oversized taxi and Stavroula arranged for a man with a van to come shuttle us to the airport.
She was so helpful right up to the end of our stay!
