We had a wonderful holiday in Athens and Lefteris went out of his way to make us feel at home in his apartment.
It's a stones throw from Gazi Metro station, really easy to locate and only 10-15min walk from the Acropolis.
The local area is very arty and vibrant. We stumbled across loads of interesting little live music events. Lefteris' friend Stefano runs an organic food and veg shop...
The apartment itself is beautiful, eccentric and homely. The balcony extends right round with a cheeky hammock and a load of exotic plants (which you can also see from the bedroom...very romantic!)
It's on the 4th floor so views are pretty lovely too.
It looks as cool as it does in the photos. It was left very clean and tidy for us.
Lefteris welcomed us in on arrival, full of smiles and jokes! He tailored a list of interesting restaurants and venues for us to visit. He has a very cool collection of records to listen to! It rained really hard one day and I was actually kind of pleased because it meant I got to chill out on the suspended bed in the living room and sift through all the vibey music and read his old quirky collection of Greek comic books (and drink a few beers he'd kindly left for us in the fridge).
We met his wife and two daughters towards the end of our stay...such a gracious and welcoming family!
It was my first time using AirBnB and thanks to Lefteris and his apartment, I'm going to be relying on it for all my future travels.
Thanks Lefteris & family :)
