I have visited many cities in the world with my long distance partner, and my stay at this airbnb in Exarchia ranks near top of list.
The apartment itself is homely and bohemian, with plenty of clean linen and Manchester, kitchenware, and even some bathroom products. The hosts have great taste in literature and have given you a great library to work through.
The location is prime - if you're visiting Athens and want to see a more authentic and artistic side of the city, you can do no better than Exarchia. There is a supermarket less than 3 minutes away with all you'll need, and wondering the streets you can find all manner of small independent cafes and unique stores. The street art on every wall creates an exciting, grungy atmosphere, but the locals are laid back, kind, and caring. I have never found an atmosphere of raw edginess balanced so keenly with the sense of safety and security that the locals exude. The walk to central Athens is only 30 minutes maximum.
And finally, the hosts. Dionysia waited many hours for me at the apartment when my flight was delayed and I was unable to communicate this to her. She was right out front when my taxi arrived, welcoming and friendly. I personally like a host who is involved only when needed, and she promptly replied to any questions I had about getting around.
We greatly appreciated our stay here, and hope to return soon. A bnb with real soul, you'll feel at home and enmeshed with the local life.
