Miltos's apartment in Plaka was my family's first Airbnb experience, and so I wasn't sure what to expect. But it was a great decision and we're so happy we decided not to stay in a hotel.
Firstly, the location is absolutely perfect. Right in the heart of the gorgeous district of Plaka, nearly everything worth seeing in Athens is within 10-20 minutes walk at the most. There are dozens of restaurants surrounding the area with great Greek and other food, and it's only a minute's walk from the main road for taxis, tour buses, etc. Another great plus is that there is an awesome gelato place called Da Vinci right in the building - with gelato to die for - especially the dark chocolate and mango! And what's best is if you're staying with Miltos, you even get a discount!
The apartment itself is beautifully done up and was perfectly sized for our family of 3, and would accommodate 1 more person too without feeling crowded. The beds are super comfortable and bathrooms very clean. Everything we could possibly need for a 3 day stay even with a child was easily accessible.
Finally - Miltos was a wonderful host. He sent us loads of information on what to do in Athens well before our trip to help us plan, and a whole list of recommended restaurants for every taste. He even organised a taxi to pick us up from the airport. He was there personally to check us in, help us with the luggage, show us around the apartment and give us more guidance with our stay.
Thank you, Miltos!
