Amazing location, great apartment next to everything, and in many ways better than the add. We stayed for 3 days on the back end of our Greece trip. As you can see from the photos, this apartment harkens back to an older time, which makes it charming. Everything works as advertised, and the outside patio is gigantic and all yours. The apartment is upstairs from the owners, but you have your own entrance and their is no connection between he two two other than a front court yard by the front door. Check in was flawless and could be done at any time with a key box. The apartment is large, looks over a square that is a historic monument, and has every shop, restaurant and even a small grocery store right outside the front door. Walk up the hill to the left of the door and eat at The Cave. Or walk down the hill thirty steps and eat at Daphne's. Both excellent places for authentic and delicious food.
When we came into the apartment, the host had stocked the fridge: fresh eggs, ham, cheese, cold water, orange juice. The kitchen is fully stocked with oils and spices. They have every sort of caffeine, from Teas to Nescafe machine to drip American style coffee along with all the sweeteners and creams. They left muffins and a fruit basket of oranges, bananas, apples, and a bottle of wine. And the entire apartment is filled with candy dishes. It's really like going to visit your Ya-Ya (grandmother's). It's such a nice touch and you and your family will enjoy it.
As far as the accommodations, as advertised, two twins and a queen (the twins are memory foam, the queen is a fairly hard bed). The sofa in the kitchen can be used as a bed too. The bedrooms and kitchen have on demand air conditioning that worked great when Athens was having a 95F (35c) day. The bathroom is fine though if you have someone mobility challenged, the shower is in the tub and you have to step up into it which could be a challenge for some. We used the clothes washer, and with Athens low humidity and sun, your clothes with dry in no time on the provided outside drying racks.
Proximity: Your rooftop garden is under the Acropolis. It's an amazing view. It's also a 5 minute walk from the east entrance to the Acropolis which brings you in the South slope- much less crowded than the other entrance. It is also next to the Acropolis museum, which is an entrance to the Metro (Acropoli). Everything you'll want to see is a ten minute walk- the National Gardens, the changing of the guard, to Monastiraki Square. And check out Psyri area by the square for great outdoor cafes and themed clubs- again, about a ten to 15 minute walk.
The owner's parents lived in this home, and inside, you'll find photos from 1910 when the area seemed like farm country. You have to love AirBnB that provides an experience, as well as a comfortable place to stay. When you look at the guest book and the refrigerator full of thank you notes, you'll know you picked well. Bring them a fridge magnet from your side of the world, it makes the collection even cooler.
