Book this place!! We've stayed in 20+ airbnb places now and normally I would NEVER book a place with such few reviews. But we booked it because the host is well known and has tons of positive reviews. Boy are we glad we did! This place is an absolute gem!
Let's get the obvious out of the way first -- the decor is definitely not in everyone's taste. But unlike most airbnb's that get loaded up with IKEA stuff, the furnishings here are all super high quality. Once you get past how it looks though, the apartment itself is fantastic!
It is a VERY large three bedroom place with ample space everywhere. Bedrooms are all very good size, kitchen is very large, dining area and living room also very large. And most importantly, it has two full bathrooms (a must for any group of 4+ imo) and the AC works really well throughout the entire unit (also a must given the high temperatures in Athens throughout the summer).
The location also is a big plus for me. You are within a ten minute walk to the Acropolis, a five minute walk up Philopappos Hill for arguably the best view in the city, within fifteen minutes to Plaka and twenty minutes to the Parliament building and Syntagma Square. And yet this place is amazingly peaceful and quiet. There's no noise at all almost, which is unbelievable given how close you are to the center. I personally greatly prefer this situation vs being in Plaka where there will be noise at all hours.
Finally, Stella and Nikos are top notch hosts and I would highly recommend staying with them. I always put a lot of value on the quality of the host and have found that a good host is the key to a positive experience. Stella and Nikos are fantastic. They are very prompt on communication, able to answer all questions, help you with transfers and bookings if you require it and make check-in and check-out as pain free as possible. Love them and will 100% stay with them next time we are in Athens.
