Just magical. I have been traveling for nearly a month in a few different countries and this lovely little place is probably my favorite space I’ve gotten to enjoy. For those on foot coming from the airport like me, it’s about 10 min walk to the place once you exit the metro. On the same line as the airport, so no transfer needed- you get off at the Kerameikos stop. It will cost you 10 euro one way and take about 45-1hr to/from airport.
Host is professional, prompt, thoughtful and kind- was a pleasure to interact with & helped me feel at home during a very stressful time. Check in is high tech (I was a little nervous because I’m not great with technology but it worked out fine and saves the hassle of keys and such). He responded promptly and was always super helpful and proactive.
The place itself feels brand new, modern meets cozy, spacious & beautifully designed. Every detail shows thought, from the well stocked kitchen, to the varied and appealing lighting options, convenient usb by the bed and stylish touches. The acoustics are nice too, if you like to sing or listen to music. It’s almost hard to leave it to go outside and sightsee, it’s so pretty & comfortable.
Neighborhood seems up and coming with plenty to discover and a sort of neat gritty urban vibe mixed with cute cafes/restaurants and the nearby wild nightlife of the Gazi area. You can walk to little cafes, restaurants and host provides a thoughtful list of suggestions in a neatly organized handbook. Not a bad walk to the Acropolis either- took me about 20-30min taking my time. Definitely try and see the Acropolis lit up at night from on of the hilltops!
All told, gorgeous place, awesome host, good location and great value. I went back a second time I liked it so much & will definitely stay again if I get to return to Athens.
