Our stay with Alexandra was absolutely fantastic and really illustrated the benefits of travelling with Airbnb. She was very warm and welcoming to her home, but she also was not intrusive and we felt we could make ourselves at home. We were really grateful for her hosting us last minute, and to her friend for letting us in her home and showing us around. We had some really nice conversations which gave us a real insight into current life in Athens and she also provided us with personalised recommendations of things to do and places to eat in Athens. The pictures are true to life - we had breakfast on one of the balconies every morning. There are local corner shops and a bakery a stones throw from the flat. There are great views of the city, including the acropolis, from the roof. We walked everywhere from the flat; it takes about 20 minutes to get to the centre.
We highly recommend Alexandra's flat as a great place to stay, to live like a local and to meet a true Athenian and friend.
Thanks so much Alexandra!
