Our stay at Panos’s place was wonderful. To start, he was incredibly prompt with written communication through Airbnb as soon as the room was booked. He helped us arrange a taxi from the airport to the Airbnb.
Panos was there at check in, showed us the amazing apartment and how the windows and alarm system worked. He then pulled out a map and gave us a quick but detailed walk through of the touristic sites. Panos also did a great job recommending tourist sites and restaurants and a grocer around the corner. He included thoughtful touches of having a liter of water, a bottle of wine, and cookies waiting for us. Throughout our stay, Panos’s communication was superb, which I found incredibly helpful for any Airbnb stay.
We booked the Airbnb in large part because of the view which was spectacular. From the balcony, you can see the temple of Zeus, the acropolis, Lycabettus hill, and Filopappou hill. But, if the weather is not great or it is late, you can chill out on the couch and the temple of Zeus ruins dominate the view through the large balcony windows. The photos do not do the view justice.
The location is also very convenient. The apartment is located in a quieter area with less tourist congestion, but it is close to the sites nonetheless. It just across a large street from the hubbub. The acropolis museum and metro is about a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The gate to start the acropolis climb to the Parthenon about 10. It is close to other tourist sites and Syntagma square as well.
Overall, our stay was amazing. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
