We enjoyed staying at Miltos place. We were greeted in the morning, by the janitor of his building, Ilias who helped us get our luggage up to the apartment. Illias doesn't speak English but we had no trouble communicating. And if we needed anything he was visibly around taking care of others and would always smile and wave to us. Miltos is a great host. He was off visiting family on one of the islands but stayed in constant communication with us the entire time we were in Athens at his apartment. The apartment is, by European standards, larger than expected, furnished nicely, comfortably and was freshly cleaned when we arrived. While there was no soap per se, there was bath gel & shampoo in the shower, although we had traveled with our own. As a woman I was happy to see a hairdryer with a powerful speed so I didn't have to use my outlet adapters and my own hairdryer and risk a power surge burning out my own dryer.
The bed was comfortable. There was a television in both the bedroom and the living room, although we couldn't find any English channels. Fully equipped kitchen. We didn't cook in but it was nice that it was there.
If you're an early to bed, light sleeper, on a rare occasion there is a little noise from the restaurant below, but it seemed to be for short amounts of time only, and later in the evening. My husband slept through it. I was awake reading anyway so it didn't bother me and was over by the time I was ready to go to sleep. All in all a perfect place to spend a holiday in Athens! We will return!
