I felt so lucky to have found Yiannis' apartment. Stepping into the apartment, I could immediately tell that Yiannis has amazing taste. I quickly scanned the CDs, books, and boardgames in the shelf. We would have played a game or read a book if we had more free time while in Athens. The decor is also amazing, there are band posters on the wall and tasteful black and white photos in the bathroom. Yiannis and his mom greeted me when I arrived. I appreciated that Yiannis helped me carry my heavy suitcase after I got off the taxi. There was water and snacks in the fridge and in the kitchen which is always welcome! The location of the apartment is superb. Monastiraki station and the Plaka area are just 8-10mins by foot. The Ancient Agora is 5mins by foot and the entrance to the Acropolis and Mars Hill is around 15mins by foot. Communication with Yiannis was easy. As a plus, we got a discount from his Cretian restaurant which you should visit too!
