We were a family of 5 staying at Ilias’s beautiful home. Ilias was very accommodating and helpful from the moment I booked the listing. He even offered to book us a taxi to pick us from the airport. We decided to take the metro to the listing as Ilias had given us great directions from the airport straight to the apartment.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Ilias’s lovely father who showed us around the apartment and gave us great suggestions about where to go and what to do during our week long stay.

The apartment was big enough for all of us and was very well equipped. Although there is no AC system we didn’t really feel the heat as the inside of the apartment was quite cool and there are also fans available in case you do get hot.

The location couldn’t be more perfect, everything is within walking distance - the best thing is that Acropolis is only a 15min walk away! There are plenty of nice restaurants only a few minutes away and Ilias was also kind enough to provide us with some good suggestions of places to eat.

We rented a car for a few days and although there is no private parking, we didn’t have any problems finding suitable parking nearby.

We didn’t get to meet Ilias as he was away, but he was always available and would contact us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Our stay at “By the hill” was wonderful and I would definitely recommend this listing if you plan on visiting beautiful Athens!
