This house was perfect - and I daresay it was the best AirBNB home I've stayed in! I had booked the house for my and my boyfriend's birthday trip. The beautiful touches, the scent of the house, the painting of the kitchen, the soft colors, the outdoor seating area and bar, the arrival gifts - all created a sense of calm and welcoming. I would even admit that if I had a country home, this is exactly how I would want it decorated. Akrivi, who met us at the home, was a wealth of knowledge and very enthusiastic about sharing her favorite places in the neighborhood and what to see/do. (Prior to arriving, I had asked about specific foods that we wanted to try and she had a huge list waiting for us with her favorite places.) Plaka is a great location - a bit touristy, a bit neighborhoody, but centrally located to everything you'll likely want to do. The house is just off the main tourist drag so it is quiet but close when you want excitement. In the afternoon, you can hear someone playing jazz music close by so sitting outside was quite romantic. The house far exceeded expectations and in fact I spent most of my time actually at the house rather than touring Athens because there was nothing quite so lovely as beautiful weather to have breakfast in the morning by the bar, lunch by the bar, and evening drinks at the bar. At these moments, I could look up to see the oldest church in Plaka (maybe even all of Athens) and in the distance the Acropolis. We even had the fortune of seeing two weddings on the Sunday we were there! Don't think twice about booking this home - just do it - you'll be very happy!
