I can't recommend Fannis enough as a host: he is easily reachable and always replies swiftly in excellent English. He is one of the few hosts that goes the extra mile to provide his guests with all he can think can be useful for them, such as various kitchen and bathroom essentials and goodies. Prior to our visit, he cared a lot about us and gave us advice and directions on how to get to his place from Piraeus Port in a day of general strikes in Athens. Once at his apartment we had a lovely and honest chat about life in general and life in Athens.

As for his apartment, the location is unbeatable: in a quiet neighbourhood, 1 minute from Metro stop Neos Kosmos and therefore within minutes of all the tourist attractions and the centre of Athens. His apartment is just perfect and lovely: comfortable, modern, recently built and furnished, tastefully decorated and taken care of. Add to this that there is a handy elevator (for heavy luggage), a very safe door and fantastic double-glazed windows that isolate from heat and noise. It also benefits from having air conditioning units that are quiet and powerful - a must have in the Athenian summer! Plus a very comfortable king size bed, and a lovely terrace.

AirBnb is the great place it is thanks to hosts like Fannis who see this as a way of life and like to build human connections, not only a "business". If we come back to Athens, we will make sure that we get back in touch with him! Thanks a lot for everything and best of luck my friend!
