First off, everything about my trip to Athens was exactly what I had hoped for. I left this city filled with history and world class hospitality feeling relaxed and inspired.

Although I've been a fan of the site for a while, this was my first experience actually using Airbnb. I have officially been completely won over. Kika's penthouse was almost exactly as pictured. The only thing I was surprised (pleasantly) about was how wonderful the view from the balconies were. The photos don't do it justice. After a long couple of weeks traveling, my traveling companions and I spent the better part of an evening playing games on the balcony while gazing off at the city of Athens.

The apartment is a little father away from the city center than where I previously stayed in Athens but not only did I love the neighborhood but it gave me a chance to take the Athens metro which is the most efficient and cleanest metro I have even seen. When you are in town, you absolutely must visit Prosopa. Kika suggested the restaurant, which is about a 5 minute walk down the street, and I was blown away not only by the food, but by the hospitality. It was so wonderful, I had to go twice for dinner during my trip. I would have gone a third if I had the chance.

Overall, this place is an A+++. I wanted to pack up this entire apartment (and Prosopa) and carry it back to DC with me.
