After a quick 3 hour flight I was picked up at the airport by our landlord Ewoud, a young Dutch guy that fell in love with an Greek girl and now lives and works here. He's a very friendly nice guy with a car that looks like Rene's desk before he found out about the clean desk policy... ;-)
The appartment is in the middle of Athens' most densely populated area, which is fairly close to the centre and with 2 metro stations nearby, we have little to complain.
The interior is a sight by itself. I knew upfront that it was an appartment belonging to his father in law, so I expected an "older persons appartment", but this old?!? I guess the best way to describe it is to use your imagination. Just picture what an appartment would look like if Woody Allens grandmother were living in it. Get the picture? Now that's what trend-setters would call CAMP!
The place should be converted into a museum! It is as if somebody walked out of the place 50 years ago and nobody changed anything ever since. Everything is in it's usual spot: Furniture your granny would find old-fashioned, black-&-white family pictures on the shelves and half used shoe polish from 1948.
