I don't know how to set my words in a way this does not sound an exaggeration, but I think just had my best holiday ever in Athens. And Paul and his fantastic Penthouse played big part in that experience. Actually the funny thing that there wasn't really anything super spectacular – if not taken into account the apartment itself which is truly a gem!, I must say – but, you know, just all the normal basic things one expects when visiting a destination abroad and using Airbnb services, but coming all just so perfectly together, without forcing anything, and in best possible manner. What else one could actually ask? The apartment is perhaps in the best location you can find in the downtown of Athens. It is less than 2 minutes from metro, but you can actually get everywhere by walking. For the basic sights and things you don't need to move far, there are plenty of great things just around the corner – what every you like to do or consume. I went to summer cinema, fantastic restaurant, get my sunglasses fixed, bought some great artisan pastry and visited art gallery and very traditional cafe/bar, all that just less than 5 min distance from the flat. But because of very good connections with public transportation, it is also very easy to explore other districts of the city or even more distant destinations. But, what I actually liked the best about the place was the rooftop it self which is very elegant, quiet, open, and airy, having the most amazing view over the city – without any curious eyes sharing the moment with you. I actually set up my hammock on the terrace and chilled out there under the umbrella reading book, sipping wine and watching rugged slopes of monumental Lycabettus hill and old Acropolis both standing there over the roof tops of the city. And these were just modest moments when I came back "home" to take a rest. Not bad, right? Just to mention, there is even a kind of rooftop bar there – perhaps used to be for serving food and drinks in parties for friends and guests of the person who once built the place. Paul was very friendly and helpful host, who I felt as a friend from the first moment, who kept things perfectly clear, simple and casual – I don't like to be treated like a statesman or a "too-much-desired-customer" when i'm on my holiday. He advised me to find excellent places to pay a visit, eat or have a drink, and even my taste is sometimes quite peculiar, it seem Paul has either acquired plenty of experience of dealing with different kind of people or then he is just sensitive and talented enough to understand different desires of different people – or perhaps both. We even had a quite deep spontaneous discussion about challenges of contemporary art in crisis driven society – which is not very likely expected topic with a person who just rented...
