Thinking of doing AirBnB in Athens – well, save yourself the hours of searching (which I did!) and book this one! The apartment: This is the perfect AirBnB apartment that has simple, clean, tasteful design. It has a lovely minimalist style, which make it feel bright and airy with some nice artwork on view. At the same time, the apartment has everything you’d need. The kitchen is great if you are staying a few days and like to have breakfast, make lunch or cook in the evening. It has a gas hob, electric oven, sandwich maker, microwave and large fridge with large freezer (great for storing ice cream). The appliances and apartment were IMMACULATELY clean. There was a lovely white table cloth on the table (which seats 4 with lots of room), a nice comfortable couch (that easily changes into a double bed), a large bathroom with bath, large bedroom and a nice cute balcony. Clean bed linen, lovely towels, washing machine, TV and great wifi. There wasn’t anything missing! Lots of guidebooks also. Again, it all felt very safe, both the little apartment building and the presence of a fire extinguisher and safety instructions and a great heavy door – so if you are safety conscious (which I am not but my husband is!) than this is a great place to be. The location and getting there: Pygmalion’s apartment is perfectly easy to get to from Athens. We got the X95 bus from the airport to Syntagma metro station (red line) and 5 stops later we are at Sepolia station. We purchased a 5-day ticket for all public transport at a cost of €9 per adult and it was worth it for the unlimited travel on metro, buses and trams (we only needed to use metro). From the Sepolia station, we did the short walk with our luggage to the apartment – about 5-6 blocks. It is on the 3rd floor (there is a quaint lift) and situated in a very quiet residential area. We walked the area early in the morning and late at night and it felt extremely safe. At the Sepolia station there are two supermarkets where you can buy water and other necessities. There are also lots of little corner shops on each block. We arrived on a Thursday and there was a farmers market on the street and we stocked up with lots of fresh fruit which we store in the large fridge. And I found the most DELIGHTFUL bakery just 2 blocks away (turn left when you exit from the apartment and it is on your left on a corner) where the people spoke English and could tell me what was in all the gorgeous baked goods. Communication: While we didn’t meet Pygmalion, I was in contact with him several times before and during the visit. We were met at the apartment with the keys – and Pygmalion was very kind to facilitate our early arrival from a 5:55am flight from Turkey! I...
