Mike and Maria's penthouse in Athens is just perfect and we highly recommend it! One of our best Air Bnb experiences.
The place is very comfortable and nicely designed. The best part is the huge patio filled with beautiful plants - we spent most of our time out there. There are fans and AC and big screened windows to keep you cool inside. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need, and I appreciated the espresso machine and fresh ground coffee. Little touches go a long way.
Mike and Maria are very fast in their responses, and friendly and easy to communicate with. When we realized the sofa bed didn't have any sheets they quickly delivered, even though it was late. They also provide lots of recommendations for the neighbourhood and Athens.
The Kerameikos neighbourhood is very hip and up-and-coming - lots of bars and restaurants. It's also easy to get there by metro from the airport (same metro line). We walked everywhere: It's about 15 minutes to Psyri, 20 to Plaka. Koukaki is a good 40 minutes, but you can also take a cab for about 5-7 euros (cabs are cheap in Athens).
