Beware. If you want a quiet and chilled stay perhaps look elsewhere.
This room is located right atop a bar, and therefore music (albeit not tasteless) was blasted until late at night, perhaps 2am. Even after that time passed and the music volume was lowered, noise was still very noticeable from all of the people conversing in the bar underneath; I can confirm as such up until 3.30 am.
On another note, at the time of visiting, the Athenian winter was particularly harsh, around 2-8°. The room itself was freezing and very humid.
The air-conditioner had some kind of fault and made weird noises, yet most importantly, did very little in terms of heating the room. Thankfully, there was a warm blanket in the closet (that didn’t smell bad) and an old air heater that helped fight the cold.
The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. There was plenty of space to leave our stuff. The advertised view of acropolis from the window was indeed great, yet the window isn’t in the best place for it to be noticeable unless you walk up to it. Lastly, there were black spots in the ceiling above the shower, I’m not aware of what those spot were, but they definitely didn’t make me feel safe.
I should also mention that the self check in process was confusing. As a Greek citizen, some information was required from me that other airbnbs have not asked for. Thankfully, the hosts reply quickly.
If you do end up booking this room, please follow ONLY THE LOCATION THAT THE HOSTS GIVE ON THE SELF CHECK IN INSTRUCTIONS. The location that is available after you book the place is WRONG both on Apple maps and on Google maps. We ended up walking and asking around for more than 30minutes; only after we got the instructions did we find the actual location. All that could have been avoided if it was correct on the airbnb app.
Note that the square isn’t the safest at night, it will probably be ok, but be careful if you arrive late.
What this place DOES offer is one of the best locations for a fair and affordable price. Just 5-10 minutes walking distance from monastiraki, plaka, thisio, syntagma square and metro stations etc… Perfect for anyone who wants to explore Athens.
