Nicolas was a perfect host. He walked us through the apartment and showed us how everything worked. After he left, he sent us messages for great places to eat in the neighborhood and was available for any question we might have. This apartment is gorgeous! It has everything you might want or need: books in various languages including French, German, Greek and English, a big television, a bathtub, and the backyard was full of wisteria! The kitchen has proper knives and cutting boards, beautiful china, an excellent espresso machine, a toaster, microwave-- everything you would need including olive oil and spices. The view of the Parthenon out the balcony window is gorgeous. The windows do have blinds that come down to block out the light or heat of the day. The bed is incredibly comfortable and we used the heated blanket under the sheets during our time there, which was a little chilly at night. But the cherry on top is the record collection and turntable. A friend could not believe that someone would share their records! It does seem extravagant. We enjoyed Roxy Music, Ike and Tina Turner, Eurythmics, Earth, Wind, and Fire. It was a time out of time. I'm so grateful we found Nicolas' apartment. Thank you!
