The home and the host are both special. We had such a lovely time here. You cannot wish for better. A central location close to everything, fantastic restaurants and walking distance to all the major sights. Yet at the same time the area where this home is located is beautifully quiet and peaceful whilst still being in the midst of it. The home itself is beautifully done. A special place - spacious, welcoming, unique and comfortable. The best of all is Yvan. Truly the best host I've ever stayed with. Charming, very easy to communicate with and prepared to go the extra mile. He took us on a very useful personally guided walk around the area when we arrived so that he could point out the best restaurants, the bakery, the fantastic open air cinema and much more. As it was our first visit to Athens and neither of us speak Greek he gave us a mobile with local SIM that we could carry around with us and call him on anytime we needed anything - even just a translation for a taxi driver. Also he provided a tablet for use and wifi. Beautiful fresh flowers, cold wine & beer and cookies and fresh fruit from the local shops were waiting for us together with Yvan's warm welcome. If you visit Athens do stay here - you will have a magic time.
