This was seriously one of the nicest airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. We are a family of four, two adults and two teenagers, and Panos’ place exceeded all of our expectations. Newly renovated and freaking huge!! 3 good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms, one pretty large. Showers in both, one with a jacuzzi tub. The kitchen is massive and modern and beautiful! Nice big dining table with multiple stools. Comes with a washing machine, coffee maker, microwave, and fridge water dispenser (Such a treat not to have to constantly buy bottled water). There is also a huge living room that we felt guilty about hardly using because we were exploring so much… But what a fantastic space to hang out and mingle with friends or various family members if you did a bigger trip than we did. Very elegant room. Floors throughout are hard wood or tile. Beautiful. There is a large balcony off the kitchen which is a little too sunny in the morning but a perfect spot in the afternoon to enjoy a glass of wine and a snack and listen to the foot traffic below. Two smaller balconies along the same wall outside of the living room. Then there’s this massive courtyard outside of the three bedrooms, completely shaded and very very comfortable. A table with multiple chairs to sit and relax and get some work done if you need to. A drying rack for all the laundry you might be doing, and seriously, do it because if you head to the Greek Isles, you will be hard-pressed to find an Airbnb with a washing machine. And rooftop access with a view of the Acropolis! Be careful, there are no high walls or railings, it is truly a rooftop. Every night we enjoyed the magical view! Be careful of the 2 vent pipes sticking up - could be a hazard if you didn’t notice them. But frankly if you are on a roof, you should be careful where you are walking no matter what. Oh, every bedroom has its own air conditioning, and the living room has its own as well. Stays super cool in spite of the Athens heat. The condensation drains onto the patio so don’t leave your shoes there or they may get a little wet.
The location is amazing! A safe street and right around the corner from everything. Forgot your jacket? Have to go to the bathroom? Thirsty for water? Just pop in to your flat bc it’s so conveniently located. But have no fear, from your bedroom you cannot hear any street noise. Seriously, I cannot say enough about this place.
Panos was friendly and energetic. He met us there and acclimated us to the place. He has a list of restaurants, several of which we went to and which were awesome! He made reservations for us within seconds of our reaching out. He answered every question we had in a timely fashion. He was friendly and fun. He even bought a surprise box of Greek pastries that were out of this world. He introduced us to “Mastica,” a Greek cordial we hadn’t ever had, and we toasted together.
I would go back to this place in a heartbeat if I go back to Athens. I would love to stay for a month! Highly, highly recommend.
