LOVED Staying at Manolis’ apartment. The apartment is spacious, comfortable, and in the perfect location. The perks, 15 minutes to the subway, 2 blocks from a market, and surrounded by cafes and restaurants and one of the most charming neighborhoods in Athens.
Manolis was great to communicate with - lighting fast and super helpful. He tipped me off on how to get to the apartment via subway instead of taking an expensive taxi from the airport, and this insiders insight was much appreciated and helpful. Check in and check out were super simple.
The only thing I should mention is that because this apartment is on the first floor (slightly above the street) and adjacent to the main complex front entrance you do get quite a bit of noise transference from the main entry hall (door closing often and people talking in the hallway), and noise from the street. That said, it’s quiet at night, and having spent lots of time in old buildings and living in cities, I didn’t mind it. But it’s not absolutely tranquil/silent. I suppose it’s a fair trade for being in a great location, and a super affordable apartment. I would definitely stay here again.
