Okay, since the second day at the apartment until now, I have wanted to write this review, and I'm dreaded that I only have 500 words to describe the beauty of this place!!!

If you want just one phrase, then it's this: our one-month trip in Greece was basically at the heart of this apartment. My mother, sister and I left it with a heavy heart because we felt so connected to it. This was truly my first experience with Airbnb (and I've had many) where I felt like this was a home away from home.

Okay, so to details you want to know:
1. This place is situated two stops away (10 mins) from the heart of Monastiraki Square. The station (Petralona station) is a short 2 min walk down from the apartment, where there also supermarkets and cafes and stuff (near the apartment) But for my family, we didn't take the metro, but walked every day to the center and loved it. Yes, it's near enough (25 min walk) from the center AND from Acropolis. If you don't mind the heat, you won't mind the walk either!

2. This place is so endearingly decorated and loved for by Madeau. Each room has a unique style, and every last detail is personalized! The sheets were spotless, and there was a second set offered. If you are really into movies, this place is going to blow you out the water.

3. Amenities....everything you can possibly imagine, she had. Shampoo, body shower, toilet paper, food, laundry detergent, what have you. Like I said, home away from home!

4. Okay, the most important thing I have to mention about this place and what I'll spend my last few words on is the rooftop. The photo on the site does NOT do it justice. The views from this rooftop outdo any rooftop or rock in ALL of Athens. You can see the acropolis from one side, and the mountains and city lights from the other side, and there are these twinkling lights that are always on...I swear just thinking about this rooftop makes me so nostalgic. The sunsets from this rooftop are literally out of this world, and we even had a friend visit who has lived in Greece for 5 years now say this rooftop was so magical. I promise, if anything, this rooftop alone should make you book.

Lastly, Madeau is so, so kind, and everyone she knows who helped us -- from the people who greeted us and helped us up to the driver she would hire for us -- were the nicest people we met throughout the whole trip. Additionally, she is so responsive and so helpful -- the ideal host! I would recommend this place to anyone -- it's honestly one of the best gems in Athens, and I'm so glad we got to stay here.
