We loved staying at Manolis' place!! We loved the apartment, the light and open feeling in the main areas, and the neighborhood! This stay reminded us of what AirBnb was like 10+ years ago, when you stayed in someone's home and connect with the owner directly...versus now, an apartment that is rented & furnished as AirBnb pad and the person who you meet is a manager of multiple units (it's their job, not their home). The feel is just different. Depending on your personal preference, this home may or may not be what you want, but we loved the apartment and all its personal touches and character. The building is lovely and so is the neighborhood. It seemed there was only one apartment per floor, so noise level was zero. I recommend the restaurant in front, we had a lovely lunch there while waiting to check in. Close by and walking distance is the Lycabettus Funicular, a must see! It was a great way to spend an afternoon (or even better a sunset!) and see all of Athens! Supermarkets are close by and many shops, etc. We loved the neighborhood and could walk or take a short taxi ride to many of the tourist spots. Manolis was very helpful and always available by text for any questions.
