Overall, we were very happy with our stay at this AirBnb. We would very happily book it again, when available. My father is mobility challenged, so the lack of steps into the building, the elevator and having showers all suited very well.
The PROS include what I call “The Hit Parade”:
Location! Location! Location! (Koukaki is my favorite neighborhood in Athens)/ Cleanliness/ Comfortable beds with nice linens/ Closet space/ Excellent wifi/ great water pressure and lots of hot water (we never ran out)/ AN ESPRESSO MACHINE that takes the small Nespresso capsules - praise the universe/ An electric kettle for hot water to make my herbal tea!/ light and bright/ A large and beautiful refrigerator/ A fabulous induction heat cooktop /A super washing machine/ multiple bathrooms and toilets (3 for a 2 br flat!)/ great lighting/ A secure multi bolted front door/ new heating and air conditioning/ Elevator / Large, sunny veranda with nice dining set for outdoor enjoyment/ windows that block out noise/ blackout curtains for the jet lagged guest who wants to sleep late/ walking distance to the Acropolis and Acropolis museum as well as other major sites, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, outdoor market and boutiques./ Walking distance to the metro stations.
Sturdy and comfortable dining chairs/ comfortable sofas/ multiple TV’s/ showers instead of baths.
Frankly…much too much to mention.
Tuk Tuk Thai restaurant just up the street. Inexpensive and delicious. Full of locals.
Athenaikon in Plaka. Delicious salmon and other fare. Fair prices for the quantity and quality of the food.
Kezko electric bike rental just up the street. I had a blast cruising through Athens on my electric bike AND you may take them on the metro so long as you only ride in the last car of each metro train with your bike. Many stations have elevators to access the quais with your bike.
The Cons-
Minor things. I am very exacting. Nothing much, compared to the pros. They advertised “Netflix” but you must already have your own account or you cannot access it. There are multiple options for news and other programming on the huge televisions. Who comes to Athens to watch television, though? Not I and not you, I hope.
