The owner takes good care of the house and ensures it is clean and comfortable, the bedding was great and the house was fully stocked with anything we needed.

Keith was super responsive and a joy to communicate with. The house is beautiful and has everything you need (and more!) for a weekend (or longer!) in Athens. The beds are comfortable!!!! The coffee situation is on point.The location is perfect! On a quiet tucked away street, yet close to anything you'd want to see or do in Athens.
