If you’re traveling to Athens… You must stay in this apartment.
I was coming to the city to stay three months during an Erasmus experience, also it was my first time using the platform, so I chose Vasilis’ apartment because of the good reviews and… Best choice ever!
Starting with the apartment… Three months and I haven’t had to buy anything else than food. The apartment has every single facility you could need and it has become a real home for me. Beautiful decorated, cozy and confortable, perfect for a solo traveler, a couple or a little group of friends, since the couch can be easily used as bed.
Everything in the house worked perfectly and the big balcony became my favorite spot.
Regarding the neighborhood, even if it isn’t a touristic area I never felt insecure, even some nights I arrived late and alone. The apartment is located at the corner of a big and crowded avenue during the day and it has two metro station very close, as well with several bus lines. My only recommendation for those who travel alone is to stop at the metro station located in that avenue and which is just a 3 minutes walking from the apartment.
Last but not least, Vasilis has been the best host ever. Not only he had the fridge full with some refreshments and groceries when I arrived, but during this three months he has been concerned about my well being, if I was happy and if everything was ok with my stay. I’ve been very lucky with zero problems during my stay, but for sure Vasilis would have been there to solve them if that was the case. So I cannot say anything else but a huge thank you to him.
For sure I will come back to Athens and for sure I will stay in his apartment again because the experience has been a 10/10.
