It was a pleasure staying as a guest in Konstantino’s Airbnb flat. Instructions for check-in and check-out were clear, and he was very friendly and accommodating when we arrived. He blessed us with a warm welcome gift, and he was helpful in giving us local beta (information). Konstantino was always committed to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Ask and he’ll try to help.
Some helpful info about this Airbnb:
* It’s 9 euros from airport
* When you arrive at Monastiraki metro, exit towards Athinas street. At the top of the escalators, turn left (onto Athinas street). Continue walking, and take the 4th left, onto Evripidou Street. Continue walking just a few meters, and take the first left (onto Agiou Dimitriou St). You will see Arion Hotel sign up ahead and the entrance to Konstantino’s airbnb.
* The view of the Acropolis from the balcony is spectacular, but you won’t always have your privacy, as guests from Arion Hotel frequently approach the dividing balcony wall to get a closer look at the Acropolis from the hotel’s balcony.
* The rooftop of the flat is not entirely 360”. It’s probably more like 300”, but still totally breathtaking nonetheless.
* Though you pay a cleaning fee, you will be asked to water the plants on the balcony, and be expected to wash dishes and take out the trash upon check-out.
* Sight-seeing tip: for easy access to different points in the city, and for some amazing beaches, we used https://www.citysightseeing.gr/en. It was 20euros (with haggle) per person for one day pass (which could be used for two days). To get to some great beaches and restaurants, go to the bus stop next to Hadrian’ Arch and get off at stop B7.
