My wife is extremely picky about where we stay when we travel. We showed up later in the evening the first night and it was raining. Being from the suburbs of Dallas and our first time in Athens, we were unprepared visually when our driver (Welcometaxi.gr great service) dropped us off and left. We were in front of an apartment building, some of the neighbors were staring at us, it was raining, and there was graffiti everywhere (didn’t realize that there is graffiti everywhere in Athens). My wife was freaked out and sure let me know about it which was not fun.
After about 10 minutes, Dimitris’s friend showed up, let us in, and did a quick tour of the apartment. It is very nice and comfortable.
Bottom line is, it is a great apartment and what makes it extra special is the great neighborhood. We felt very safe day or night. There are four excellent restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner about two blocks down. We got take out from Oroscopo two nights in a row. Across the street is a bakery that is open late and also serves ice cream. Next to the bakery is a good market that has pretty much anything you might need from toiletries to wine and milk. There are four coffee shops within two blocks, as well as an Alpha Bank ATM.
The metro stop is about .2 of a mile and the Acropolis is a very easy one mile walk.
Dimitris has stocked the apartment with plenty of kitchen use items, as well as laundry detergent, toiletries, etc. We were in Europe for two weeks and my best three nights of sleep were here. Very quiet and he has installed security blinds that make the rooms very dark if you wish to put them down. I loved this part.
The best part is that we walked down the street to grab a great breakfast after the first night. My picky wife thanked me for booking us a perfect Air BnB. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Fantastic!
