Being a fussy and critical person, I’ve been trying to find a fault with this listing, I really have tried but there just isn’t anything I can put my finger on...
The whole experience from reserving the listing to checking out was smoother than I could have ever hoped for. We enjoy using Airbnb as we prefer to do our own thing, but this experience was by far the best we have had yet. Sokol and his wife must be the most accommodating and hospitable people on this planet! They were able to arrange a taxi to pick us up from Athens International Airport at a discounted rate (big 👍🏻) and even communicated to the driver that our flight was delayed to ask if he would be able to wait. The driver is known to both Sokol and his wife so they are able to assure you that you will be in good hands and get to your destination.
We found the area to be fantastic, walking distance to everything worth seeing with shops and restaurants close by. For being in a city also, we found the neighbourhood to be peaceful and relatively quiet. You can visit the rooftop of the building also where there are chairs and a couple of tables for viewing the Acropolis.
The self check in guide is in-depth and provides photographs for easy navigation. We had no trouble and it was seamless. The apartment was cosy, immaculate and incredibly secure, I felt like I was locked in a safe. There is a metal door with 4 thick pins that slide into the doorframe, high security key, all walls are solid concrete and and electric shutter secures the back door to the terrace. We were greeted with yummy biscuits, nuts and a lovely fridge magnet gift. There was also some apples and snacks in the fridge. The apartment is laid out well making good use of the limited space. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, adapter plug, free WiFi, smart TV with Netflix and much more provided at no extra cost.
This apartment was everything we needed and much more for our stay in Athens. I would not even hesitate to book with Sokol again when we return in the future. Thank you so much for such a wonderful time.
