Wonderful!
We enjoyed staying in this beautiful apartment so much, I wish we could have stayed longer.
The location is right in the middle of the historic city centre of Plaka and so it is ideal for exploring all of the major tourist attractions and historic sites. It was just a short stroll to the Acropolis and it’s museum, the Panathenaic Stadium, the temple of Zeus and so many other fascinating places.
There are plenty of nice cafes and restaurants nearby and you can walk to the main shopping areas and the central market. It’s also not far from a Metro station if you do want to explore a bit further.
Nicolas was a superb host and made our stay completely stress-free, even arranging for a taxi to meet us at the airport and take us back.
It was a lovely surprise to have a bowl of fresh fruit, breakfast bread, juice, coffee etc provided - perfect for breakfast on our first morning. Plus a nice bottle of Greek wine too, which we thoroughly enjoyed one evening with some local produce we had bought from the market.
The apartment itself is incredible. Without doubt, it’s the best place I have stayed in on an AirBnb trip and is very interesting from an architectural point of view. The living room is immense and has a full dining table and there is a very well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed browsing the fascinating books and listening to the Greek CDs in the evenings.
We found the place to be spotlessly clean and the beds and linen were of high quality. There are two double bedrooms, both with comfy beds, along with a couple of single fold-out camp beds.
The roof terrace is a huge perk to this apartment. We loved sitting out and enjoying the morning sun, overlooking the Acropolis and my sister loved using it for her daily yoga :)
This is a superb place to stay, with a wonderful host - next time I come to Athens, I would absolutely love to stay here again!
