We are obsessed with the view from Efthimis’ flat. The space is comfortable, a mix of vintage and modern, and it feels like a home, like it has a real personality. We walked in to a personal balcony with a view of the lit Parthenon, and it was a magical introduction to Greece. Monastiraki market is a leisurely 5-10 minutes walk away and the Acropolis entrance (on the other side) is 15-20. Efthimis went above and beyond in his flexibility with our delayed flights and in helping us navigate transportation and local restaurants for dietary needs. It felt like we were going to see a family friend, not a faceless host. If we ever get back to Athens, we’d love to stay here longer.
