Stamatis’ place was the best air BnB experience I have ever had. Relaxed, easy, communicative and friendly, Stamatis was an ideal and very accommodating host, allowing me to add my sister as a guest last minute and also accommodating a slightly later than indicated departure time.
The apartment is absolutely superb. It is a gorgeous old apartment with airy high ceilings with pressed tin details, and everything throughout speaks of a time when it was normal to build homes with pride and beauty. There at windows throughout with great light, polished wooden floors, views to gorgeous neighbouring greenery, and yet a sense of privacy and home. It is decorated thoughtfully, generously, and with wonderful taste.
Everything you could want for is provided, with basic kitchen ingredients including tea, coffee, biscuits, cereal and a well equipped kitchen. All is perfectly functional and intuitive and there was nothing I wanted for in my stay. Beautiful to also be in a building so well designed that despite the heat in Athens you do not require air conditioning, with ceiling fans, cross drafts and shutters allowing a perfect indoor temperature.
The location is wonderful, with Exarchia a lively neighbourhood with plenty of nearby bars, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets all within two minutes walking distance. Easy walks to Plaka, the acropolis, Monasterakis and Psiri, and cheap cab rides (~€5 max to anywhere central) if you prefer.
Literally could not recommend higher, would give six stars if I could and am definitely looking forward to returning.
Thank you !
