If you are reading this review and considering staying anywhere but here, stop thinking immediately and press book now. This was my first ever Airbnb experience and it was extraordinary. I am far too old to buy into the millennial "belong anywhere" ethos and a nice hotel has always been integral to a nice holiday. But what a difference a stunning house in such a sexy vibrant location makes! It was a big messy family holiday, with my husband, two kids (aged five and three) and my two younger (adult) brothers. We were more than comfortable space-wise (and we take up A LOT of space) and even had a bed to spare! The decor - fresh, cheeky, and clearly carefully curated - made us feel very cool indeed. Not to mention the centralized stereo system! The stunning roof terrace with views over the bustling hip streets below, a beautiful little church to one side and the back of the Acropolis above, was the perfect spot for our early morning pre-sightseeing breakfasts and our late evening bottle of wine.
Spiros the house manager was extraordinarily helpful from the moment we booked, arranging an airport transfer for us, giving us lots of suggestions of things to do and places to see and even organized a beautiful boat trip for us. He greeted us when we arrived and even answered at three am when one of my kids tripped the alarm.
This is the picture-perfect place to stay, and, much as I hate to admit it, it really did make me feel like I belong anywhere!
