We had great stay in Athens in Sokol apartment.
When you come there, in the beginning surrounding can look little bit strange, but actually its very interesting and colorful.
There is a lot of stores with spice's and clothes. In the corner street up left there is great meat restaurant. They have the most soft and tasteful meat. Across the restaurant there is small supermarket the owner is from Pakistan, very pleasant man. If you go left in 50 metar's you will be in square, take the street up left next to one abandoned garage and in few you will be in front of amazing bakery and walking streets full of restaurants and cafe's. Location was great for us, Monasteraki square is just 650-700 m from apartment. Acropolis is about 1,4 m.
I really recommend it from my heart. Everything is close to apartment and safe, for us that was the most important, as we have disabled child and we need easy ways of moving. Apartment it self was very clean, the sheets was perfect white. Bathroom spotless clean, there was hand soap and shower shampoo gel. They even had sleeper's.
In kitchen they have all possible amenities even blender, that was very useful for us as my child eat only blended food.
Both beds, in living room and bedroom are comfortable. The living room sofa, might need some refreshing cleaning.
The bed in bedroom was a little bit high for my taste, but thats thing of preference.
The only thing that I think could be improved is blind curtains in living room as they don't provide enough shades in the morning.
In the living room in the morning hours can be noice from cars from street. But in the bedroom was perfectly quite as the bedroom side is turned to inside buildings.
There is also nice terrace from bedroom, my husband is smoker and the terrace was his favorite place 😁.
Elevator is small, so its kind a little bit difficult to pack with stroller, but we managed it.
In the roof there is terrace with view of Acropolis, don't miss that.
All in all I was very satisfied with our staying in Sokol apartment and we will come again for sure.
The owner was very helpful and nice.
We ask for heating in 5 minutes came his partner and fix everything.
We ask for small pot we got it next morning. We ask for baby crib it was waiting us in apartment.
What ever we ask they provided, we are very thankful for their kindness.
They also provide a lot of information, the 09.11 was big demonstration in Sintagma square. We needed to go to the doctor that day, Sokol help us with information regarding transportation, as metro and taxi didn't work that day.
I highly recommend this accomodation, it's worth the money and even better than you expect it, you won't regret it.
The one thing that I hate was Arbnb asking for my id for reservations, that was very bad experience. But as for apartment and the owner I have only best word's to say.
We will come back soon.
