Ileana and her cool mom Olga were wonderful hosts, from initial correspondence through to the end of my stay. I am now one in a long line of happy visitors. The place is beautiful, a little rooftop studio with a great patio and one of the best views in town: sunup to sundown, Hymettos center, Lykavitos to rear, the harbors and Aegina to right... Acropolis (and museum), Olympieion. It never gets old. And Olga's plants... gorgeous cacti, herbs, and flowers on the sunny side, and shade plants around side and back. Olga comes up and waters them periodically so guests don't have to worry about killing anything. I stayed three weeks in a hot summer, and while the AC worked fine, I only used it one night. Really, it was so nice to sleep with the sliding doors opened to the max and just the fan on--that high, you get great breezes! Everything I needed for some light cooking was present, which was nice. Great for short stays for 1-2 or long stays by casual solo travelers: there isn't a closet or much storage space. Olga brought me hangers and I 'decorated' the kitchen with a some things and otherwise lived out of my suitcase, no problem. Altogether great place, best view, and the kindest hosts in Kolonaki.
