I looked at so many listings for Airbnbs in Athens, but this one really stood out. Most of the other places were very modern, glitzy and bland, but this one had character, an authentic, homey, lived-in feeling that turned out to be the perfect place for me. There’s lots of interesting art on the walls, unique furniture (including a piano!), decorative pottery and pewter, plenty of sunshine, and equipped with all the necessities. Plus, it’s in the heart of the city, just across from the wonderful Acropolis Museum, in view of the Acropolis, surrounded by lively restaurants, a few minutes to the Metro with easy access to all the great areas. Katarina is terrific, so friendly and knowledgeable — she made everything easy. If you’re looking for an authentic Athens experience, I highly recommend Katarina’s lovely apartment. Now, back in NYC, I’m feeling kind of homesick!
