We had a wonderful 2 nights at Sokol’s place!
It’s isn’t big and we were four girlfriends staying there - but we’re young and didn’t plan to stay inside much anyways. It is the perfect place to stay at for a few nights while exploring the city!
As mentioned, we were out most of the time, but the kitchen would allow you to cook at home and eat on a big nice wooden table in the little living room. There is a filter under the sink so we even drank the tap water!
The bathroom ist pretty cool - chose between a normal shower head or what I like to call “the tropical rain shower”. It even cam equipped with amazingly smelling shower gel/ shampoo and hair conditioner - big thumps up!
Both, bedroom and living room, are equipped with individual AC’s and TV - perfect for people who have different temperature preferences.
Check-in was crazy easy - Sokol explained so well how to access the place and my sister was even able to check in a little before the official check-in time. Also a big plus! Check-out was just as good - we just left the key where we got it.
The view from the apartment isn’t great, because it goes into the courtyard. But no problemo - Sokol let us use the house’s roof top terrace, which made up for it hundredfold!!! Perfect for dinner with that acropolis view! Another pro about the “bad view” from the apartment - it is beyond quiet! Perfect for sleeping.
Luckily the place is located very near to the tourist center, which is exactly what we wanted. We wouldn’t recommend going home alone at night though, because the direct area around the apartment is a little sketchy. No women in the street (right from the entrance, the street left from it is fine!) and a bunch of druggies hanging out in deserted buildings. Cool graffiti / Street Art in the area though - almost bobo!
Last but not least: There are a washing machine and a gym in the building - which can be used for s few coins I think. We didn’t need it, but it’s nice to know that the option exists!
Communication with Sokol was world class - would recommend 9,9/10! Maybe not your number 1 choice of place to stay at as a lady traveling alone.
Thank you Sokol!!!!
