This was the most incredible stay we’ve ever had. The apartment is gorgeous, super clean, and Agis is an INCREDIBLE host. He’s literally thought of anything and everything that you might need, and had it well stocked for anything that might come up.
Even prior to booking, Agis was super communicative. We had originally booked for New Years 2020; however, we had to cancel for obvious reasons. We rebooked well in advance for New Years 2021, and it could not have been more perfect.
Agis arranged for a transfer from the airport, and Louis arrived super early and made sure to carry our bags for us. When we were picked up, he drove us roughly 30 mins to the apartment, giving us a full history, and rundown of life for our first time in Athens. Before we arrived, Agis called him to ensure that we were picked up ok, and to let him know he would be waiting for us when we arrived.
Not only was Agis waiting for us, but he walked us through every amenity and feature of the apartment. Not only was everything as described in his post and by every other review, but it was absolutely better. He has a laminated instruction manual for anything you need: a QR code with video instructions that he has made to help operate the shutters on each window, the automatic bed sliding further out so “everyone can see the Parthenon” and the hot tub. Like I said before.. PERFECT.
The view is AMAZING. The location is AMAZING (minutes from Monastiraki square, and about 10 from Syntagma) and surrounded by very nice restaurants, and EXTREMELY clean and quiet.
New Year’s Eve arrived, and after a 15 min walk home from the Parthenon, we decided to go out to dinner at a nearby rooftop restaurant with a great view. While we were there, we get a message from Agis letting us know he had left us a bottle of champagne and some chocolates at our door for New Years when we arrived back. We get back to the room, and at midnight, they lit off fireworks RIGHT in front of our window with the Acropolis behind them, and we enjoyed our champagne.
If you are reading this far down, you must be considering booking, and I am telling you.. don’t wait. You absolutely will not be disappointed. Thank you Agis for making this the experience of a lifetime. I am counting the days until we can come back. This room, and Athens both have a very special place in our heart!
