I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Mika's apartment. She thought of everything to make it a pleasant visit and the apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and has a huge balcony, where I ate breakfast in the morning sun and dinner with the cool evening breeze. Mets is a great neighbourhood and full of fun cafes and restaurants. I took the bus (10 min) to Plaka and the Acropolis, and found getting around the city was easy. Supermarkets (and the Friday farmer's market) in the area were a plus. I felt that I was living in Athens, and not a tourist. Added plus: the original pharmacy where Korres products were developed is just down the road.
Overall: great location, balcony surrounded by plants was a pleasant retreat, comfortable, clean house. I would recommend it to friends and colleagues.
