Our 6 days in Athens were one of the best holidays we have had and choosing this perfect Airbnb played a big part:

The location is ideal as you can quickly walk everywhere from historical attractions, sightseeing spots and markets to more trendy/local streets, with a number of metro/bus stations within walking distance as well (not that we used them once).

The area itself is cool - busy and bustling at night (although the noise mentioned by some reviews really wasn't bad, particularly if you're used to living in a city! I also understand the hosts are installing soundproof windows as we speak), yet quiet and sleepy in the day as the local restaurant owners and bars begin opening their doors. Worth noting, Google Street View does this little side street no justice.

The apartment is beautifully designed, spacious and well equipped, and being only a few months old feels brand new. The bed and bedding are incredibly comfortable, the towels are fluffy and the shower modern with little complimentary products. The balcony is a plus - the flowerbeds make it a nice little breakfast spot.

Costas was a great host, it's clear that he and his sister (who created all the amazing art on the walls!) take pride in creating a nice experience. All our questions before and during the trip were answered within minutes and they were flexible to our travel needs.

Highly recommended for anyone wanting high-standard accommodation right in the heart of the city!
