Great place and host! I can't recommend Sofia's studio enough, and here is why:
- The studio is right in the city center in a lively neighbourhood, and there are lots of bars/restaurants nearby. All the recommendations my Greek friends gave me turned out to be in a 2-10 min walk distance! Most tourist attractions are also only 10-15 min walk away.
- Despite being near busy streets, the studio is facing the interior of a building complex, so it is extremely quite. This also means there is nothing to see outside of the window though. :)
- Sofia was extremely hospitable and had great communication both prior to and throughout my stay. She even gave me an umbrella when she first met me since it was raining in Athens earlier that day!
- Despite being small, the studio is very cosy and well designed. From a hairdryer to a manicure set, there are lots of amenities so you have everything you need. The studio was extremely clean when I arrived and had clean towels, shampoos, soaps, tea/coffee etc. Thanks to all these, I felt very comfortable throughout my stay.
If you're looking for a bright & spacious place to stay with nice views, then this may not the right studio for you. But if you'll spend minimal time inside, want to be close to the best bars, restaurants and tourist attractions, then I can safely say this is the perfect place to stay in Athens!
