This flat is the home you wish for. We were really sad to leave after we have been staying here for more than a month. The flat has become our second home.
We loved everything, all the nice little details, the two balconies and the comfortable bed which has a little window to watch Lykabettus, the rising sun or the stars in the sky. The living area and the kitchen was spacious and there is plenty of space on the balconies to have breakfast and dinner there. The two owners were really taking care of us and were really warm and welcoming. Walking downtown takes you about 20min where you pass by delicious bakeries, coffee shops and bars.
The area of Exarchia is the most interesting in Athens. It’s authentic rather than mainstream and touristic. The street art, the hidden gem little restaurants and coffee shops, as well as bars, makes you feel this particular cultural vibe. When Plaka and Acropolis stand for the ancient Athens, Exarchia reflects the more recent history. Apart from that Lykabettus or Strefi Hill is inviting you for a sundowner just a few steps away. The nice suburb of Kolonaki is also just around the corner.
Regarding safety you don’t have to be afraid of anything. A lot of people say Exarchia is not safe, but that is definitely not true. Actually it is an area undergoing rapid gentrification as it becomes increasingly popular due to the reasons mentioned above.
Don’t miss the chance to stay at this special place!
