We were at Christo’s place for 1 month in the chilly autumn and will definitely return.
First, the host- super!
Christos always replied immediately, was professional and friendly. Our arrival was scheduled for 2 in the morning and he was there waiting to let us in and answer any questions we had. When we arrived the apartment had everything ready- we even had kind and thoughtful snacks in the kitchen.
Next, the location- safe and perfect. I still cannot believe how central this was to everything. On the corner of Veikou, it’s a 6 minute walk to the Acropolis and any street you take it is overflowing with every shop, cafe, grocery and restaurant you can imagine. Even an organic market 2 blocks away.
Finally, the apartment- wonderful! It is on the 5th floor of a safe complex with a fast elevator that fits 1 or 2. The apartment feels much bigger than you see in the pictures and is just as sweet and impeccably clean.
It is a corner unit so the master bedroom is bright and cheery with lots of windows (and very large with space for yoga for 2!) The other rooms get great light too, which can be rare in Athens, as many apartments are basements, lower floors or don’t have many windows. Black out shutters in every room if you want to sleep in. The side balcony has a tent but gets sun all day if you want it, which is perfect for hanging laundry (it has a washer!)
Nothing was lacking, the kitchen was stocked and the apartment had every cleaning item you need. We know from the reviews that people have stayed there before us, but everything seemed new. Water heater was ultra hot and high pressure. Our highlight was the balconetta looking up at epic Filopappos Hill. Perfect for drinks or dinners for 2. You will see blue skies and that same view every morning from the bed in the master bedroom.
We are grateful to Christos, and look forward to staying again!
