There was much hesitation on where to book in Athens. We initially thought to book in a hotel, because generally, you can locate it pretty easily on where the hotel is located and that if the hotel is pretty close to the center of everything. Then again, an Airbnb was also a choice. What made me click on the ad from Efthimis, was the balcony view of the Acropolis/Parthenon. So me and my friend decided to grab that opportunity to book it as it was available on the dates we wanted to go, considering it was in the midst of summer. As soon as I booked it, Efthimis responded not that not immediately, but the way he responded had given us the impression that this was a good find. He also had given a very impressive details on how to get to his place from the airport. We decided to take the train. Anyways, we had a long ass delayed flight, and he responded very appropriately and was very nice about it. We arrived at the wee hours past midnight and he was there to welcome us and had given us very good tips on what to do during our stay in his lovely apartment, and his place is very very close to Monasteraki and Plaka, and the Acropolis is just 15-20 min walk...
It does have a very Greek Character and feel about the apartment. It was clean, organized, the kitchen was well functioning, and all you need is there when you try to cook your own meal, even the Olive oil! Now, the bathroom, it was lovely, clean and quite spacious. His shower head 🚿 is just unique, with a washer inside the bathroom.
Now, the patio had a very beautiful view of the Parthenon. It actually, is very relaxing when you sit outside in the morning with your coffee ☕️ or at night with some alcohol 🍷.
The only thing I would say negative, hmmm... when we used the toaster, it short circuited the entire apartment, but we were able to easily turn the power back on through the main power switch box. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay, and Efthimis can be reach very very easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
