We were met by Maria’s brother Kostas who showed us everything within
the house. He was also kind enough to show us the way to the nearest
metro station (Petrolona) as well as the nearby restaurants. The area is very residential with mostly
locals staying all around. So, if you are looking for an authentic
Greek stay in the middle of Athens, this would be ideal. The house is
also within walking distance(10mins) to Thiseio metro staton. Taking a
taxi through Uber is very convenient as well. But do note that you
need to get down at the road and then climb down to the house. But
it’s a very short walk.
The house was nice and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all
the essentials like tea, coffee, salt, sugar, oil, tissues, crockery
etc. The wifi was also good. There was a washing machine and hair
dryer but we did not use it. We were also able to store our luggage in
their store room for 2 days when we made a short trip out of Athens.
This was really helpful.
The only problem we had was in finding the exact house when we
initially arrived. The taxi driver took us to the correct address
which is the junction a few metres from the house. But we couldn’t
find the house from there. But we made a quick call to Maria and her
brother came to pick us up. It would be great if the exact directions
to the house was mentioned before checkin.
