The apartment is nice, cosy, tastefully furnished, well located and clean and well equipped for our daily and cooking needs. kostas was more concerned about our arrival than we realized as we discovered once we had bought our mobile data.
We were met by Yana, Kostas assistant and she is an amazing lady. very caring, quick and she even helped to carry our heavy luggages up a short flight of stairs although we tried to stop her.
Yana showed us round the neighborhood. you absolutely must eat at the local taverna round the corner from Kostas place. the super market is also round the corner so it was easy for us to cook when we wanted to.
The location is perfect for exploring Athens. the metro is within a 10 min walking distance and there is a bus stop right outside the apartment. I will stay here again if I have the opportunity to visit Athens as a 3-night stay is too short for exploring Athens at a leisurely pace.
just a note that as we are elderly ladies with heavy luggage, it would have been easier if we had taken a taxi from sygrou fix (look for the elevator to exit the metro if you have luggages) to the apartment. but the distance is manageable and we enjoyed all our strolls to and from the metro on our way to the Athenian sights.
this is my sister's first experience of an airbnb stay and she is completely sold to this form of holiday accomodation. Thank you Kostas for hosting us and Yana for hey patience and helping us so much
