Asbjørn's house is a real gem. Situated in the old part of Ermoupolis, just less than a kilometer walk from Asteria, the city beach and Ciel, the all-day cafe, restaurant and bar on the waterfront underneath the emblematic neighborhood of Vaporia, the house is a remarkable example of traditional stone house architecture. A couple of carved wooden staircases lead to the terrace with a stunning view to the port and Ermoupollis city centre. The view is ample also from the living room of the first floor. The sitting area on the ground floor is spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped. Since the stairs are a bit steep, the fact that there is a bathroom on the ground floor and a WC on the first floor where the bedroom is, can facilitate the movement up and down the two floors. Although the house does not have A/C, the robust and quiet ceiling fans are more than enough to cool the air and ensure a good night's sleep. We particularly appreciated the mix and match of local craftmanship, urban pieces, artworks and a touch of Scandinavian design which create a very stylish whole. There are also nets adjusted to the old wooden frames (a fact indicating that the house is indeed cultural heritage being part of a historic neighborhood) which allow for fresh air to circulate around the rooms. Moreover, the neighborhood vibrates the past of this multicultural city. It is a peaceful part, away from the noise of the city centre, full of pretty 19th and early 20th century stone houses, some of them in ruins, flowers, cats and small pedestrian passages. Private cars and taxis can easily come at a distance of 100 metres from the house while close to the house there is a small parking. A grocery store is situated less than 300 metres away and the city centre is equally accessible if one does not mind the many stairs, which are very well done and safe. In sum, Asbjørn's house felt like home and a great opportunity to sense Ermoupolis' history and local daily life!
