5 Stars from a semi-local!
I had such a fantastic week staying at Georges’ place!! I had absolutely everything I needed and more at this wonderful little flat!
First, about the area. I know this area of the city well, as I come to visit my family often who all live in Athens. I’m telling you, this is a brilliant part of town to stay in. Cocktail bars, ancient sights, excellent views of the city, restaurants. Everything is a stones throw (and walking distance) from the flat including two of my most favourites spots in the city; the Acropolis & Mt. Lycabettus. To give you an idea of how close it is, I took a trip up to the Acropolis (only around a 15 - 20 minute walk to the entrance) and when I got to the too I was actually able to spot the flat from there. Monastiraki is also a perfect station in terms of getting around the city by train i.e. direct train to Piraeus for ferries. All of the diverse areas of central Athens are walkable from this flat & you are perfectly positioned.
Secondly, onto the flat itself. Completely spotless, so well stocked, with a fully working kitchen too! Also, you can’t completely see from the pictures, but the view is almost a 360 degrees! I spent most the day on the balcony & always had sun at all hours of the day. There is a perfect sunset view on the main part of the balcony, from which you can watch the city below.
Thirdly, George’s hospitality was absolutely wonderful!! He brought me juices from his cafe downstairs & fresh Greek fruit everyday & even gave me access to international tv channels. I couldn’t have been looked after better!
Thank you so much George & can’t wait to return!!
