We had a great stay at Shirin’s place!! Wonderful location walking distance from everything. Less than 2 blocks from the Acropolis. We felt really safe in this area and the room was clean and nice even though the building itself looked old and was slightly rundown (it’s a condo type building). Shirin also gave super great details on how to access the building/other important info. We took the train/metro to town from the airport and it was easy. Our flight out of Athens left early in the morning before the metro started running so I highly recommend booking one of Shirin’s drivers in ADVANCE if needed as it would have been way cheaper than a cab which we made the mistake of taking to the airport at 3:30am
Things to know… as we found out in many places in Greece you need to turn a breaker on to warm the water before you shower. Once the breaker is on you wait 30 minutes to shower and the warm water doesn’t last for two people (we were trying to shower quickly too!) So just something to note even though this was common everywhere we stayed in Greece including the islands. Also, the mattress is super hard so my wife and I had a hard time sleeping (if you like hard mattresses that’s a bonus for you though!!)
We definitely recommend this place and would stay here again! :)
