Tia&Mike & Vaki's place is perfect for the backpacker. Instructions on how to use the apartment were very clear and straightfoward. We did find the rules a tad too strict for our liking as we had to make every effort to keep silent around the house. We were also apprehensive about doing the laundry even though there was a washer as we feared disturbing the other guests. Otherwise, the room we had was very clean and well-prepared for our stay.
We did appreciate the nice personal touch of the welcome sign on our room door. The tips provided on safety and directions to the get around are also excellent. All in all, my wife and I would recommend this place to our friends should they want to visit Athens.
