First things first, if you are looking for the perfect Airbnb that is in the heart of Athens and within walking distance of everything, this is the place! Moments from not only the historical sites like the acropolis, but also seconds away from the cutest bars and restaurants! Pretty easy to find and get there via metro. Closest stop is Thessio.
Be warned, this place is...odd. Not in a bad way, but in a unique way. The layout is different, especially when it comes to the bathroom. The shower is handheld only, which makes it difficult to wash your hair if you’re over 3 feet tall. The beds are hard, but not unbearable, and there’s plenty of space for you and all your friends, however, be aware you must be of slender stature to use the elevator that MUST be used to enter the property (you can exit by stairs but not enter). The light switches are in weird, and often the wrong places (such as the bathroom light being located outside the bathroom and across the hall) but since this is vacation, you probably shouldn’t plan to spend much time here anyways. If you’re young and enjoy the nightlife, this place is perfect, as it is near a bar that doesn’t close until 4am (and you can definitely hear the music blaring until that point-parents be warned). However, despite all these things, we loved the charm and the cleanliness of the place. It was perfect for our group of 3 women as we each had our own room and space. We spent most of our time out, so the layout/noise didn’t bother us.
There were a few issues with host responsiveness prior to check in, but once I was given the number of Panos, a secondary host, he was amazing! Check in was prompt and smooth, and he sat down with a map and showed us where to enter the acropolis, and tons of “funky” bars and restaurants. He was easy to get ahold of via WhatsApp through out our stay. Overall, I loved this place and would love to stay again!
