We stayed at George's place this past November for 3 nights and this was the very first time we stayed in an air bnb. We did not know how air bnb's worked or what to expect from them but we read so many good reviews of this place that we wanted to give it a try. Let me tell you, this experience was the best one we had so far when traveling!
I will try to explain everything that this place was/is.
1) George and his father went above and beyond on everything during our stay. Him and his dad run a coffee shop downstairs in the same building where this apartment is, which was a great plus because he was always there when we needed to ask questions or for recommendations. Also, him and his dad are the sweetest people in the entire world! They would always offer us coffee and beer since the first day until the day we left.
2) The place itself is fantastic! It has everything you would possible need during your stay. George thought about every single detail, there was nothing that you would possibly need that was not available at the apartment. You basically don't need to bring anything at all other than your clothes. He has everything you need!
3) The location was perfect. This place is in the middle of Monastiraki 1 block away from the main plaza and 1 step away from the best restaurant in Athens, Thenasis. George recommended this place the first day we arrived and since that day that was our favorite restaurant. Prices are cheap and we would always take the food to the apartment to eat on the beautiful balcony and enjoy the breath taking view of the Acropolis.
We walked everywhere from this place but if needed the subway/metro station is only a few steps away. We didn't need it, Athens is beautiful in every corner and the people in Athens are the warmest, just like George and his father.
4) Views, views and views. We enjoyed every single day the amazing views we had from this apartment. We didn't need to go spend a lot of money at expensive restaurants to have the acropolis view at night, because we had it from the living room of our apartment.
I can't say enough about how awesome this experience was, I would need pages and pages to explain everything but let me tell you, if you are looking for a great experience in Athens, then this is the place you want to stay at.
If we go back to Athens again, we will definitely stay here again. We already told all our friends about George's place because if you are in Athens you don't want to miss staying here!!
Thanks George for everything!!
