What an incredibly wonderful time staying at Eleni’s beautiful place! Wow!Thank you Eleni and Despina!
First of all, I want to say that I had been to once Athens before and this time I wanted to really stay in the historic center because its truly one of the most beautiful old city areas that I have ever been to. So, when I was looking in air b n b for a place, I found that the thing is that a lot of places say they are in the historic center or claim they are five minutes away but many are not really in it, or even near really at all. I was lucky to be with a Greek friend when I was searching for places in the historic center, and he helped me with the neighborhood names so that I did my best to book a place that was actually in the historic center, not actually 20 or 30 or 45 minutes away!
To my delight, I found that Eleni’s place is right in the historic center!! On a quiet unbelievably beautiful street.
The place: what can I say but its absolutely stunning. Everything is clean, solid, minimalist, comfortable and so very well considered. The entire place is incredibly clean and relaxing, details thought of really well (towels are really really nice, the sheets are high quality, etc., free coffee with really good machine). Eleni and Despina greeted me so nicely and were very easy and helpful with my questions! And generous. So nice to arrive and treats were laid out for me, etc!
Its just beyond what the pictures suggest. Amazing (!) terrace with lovely plants, no sounds of traffic, full solid good (american style) air conditioning if you want (I only used one day for a few hours worked really well and fast), everything of this dreamy gorgeous area literally a simple lovely walk (old central market, Roman Agora, Acropolis, metro Monastiraki directly to the airport, fabulous cafes, etc.)
This is the real deal! Beyond what i was hoping! just made my stay in the area a true joy!
I highly recommend staying at Eleni’s. Superb! Wonderful!
