This apartment is perfect. The moment we walked in and turned on the lights, we were amazed at how clean it was.
The second thing that weary travellers may be grateful for is that George provides everything you might need to feel right at home: there are plenty of bath towels, as well as sheets, blankets and comforters for all kinds of weather (which was great for us because we stayed there just as spring was shifting into summer). There is also loads of storage space for your clothes (drawers, closets, hangers, etc.), so this is perfect for a longer stay. The washing machine is very efficient.
They kitchen is well appointed: great stove and fridge with ice-maker; lots of plates, bowls, pots and pans, coffee maker, etc.
The living room is super comfortable with a big sofa and armchair. There were two of us, and we had plenty of space not only to chill out but also work in the living room. The large table in the living room makes for a great desk.
George is a Superhost and I can see why! He is very attentive to every detail. He responds to messages right away. He even came over to check out a small issue we had the window shutters, and fixed it ASAP--it's good as new now.
Pagrati is one of the best neighborhoods in Athens. It's not touristy. You can really feel that real Athenians live there. There are PLENTY of supermarkets, fruit stalls, restaurants, bakeries, cafes, bars, etc... all around. George will give you loads of info about his favourite places--very useful! Lots of squares too, where children can play and friends of all ages hang out--very charming and "European." Despite all this hustle and bustle, the apartment is quiet and the neighbours respectful: you won't hear any partying or blasting TVs.
If you're a runner, you're in luck! There's an amazing track only a 15 minute walk away. It circles the top of Panathinaiko Stadium, and has great views of the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill. On the other side, it's surrounded by a lovely little urban forest with aromatic pine trees. There's even a mini outdoor gym there. It's truly a small oasis in the middle of the city.
Finally, a small detail that nevertheless will add to your comfortable stay: the building is well maintained, safe, and truly retains its 1960s style.
