We just got back from a wonderful weekend in Athens and the apartment played a big part in making it unforgettable.
It is in a fantastic location - right opposite the Agora, with views of the Acropolis and the Temple of Hephaestus, and in the heart of a buzzing neighbourhood that was full of fun and life. It is surrounded by great little restaurants, but none better than Mystilli, right outside the door - the guys there could not be friendlier and the food really could not be any better. Just a terrific restaurant to be near too, and open all day with great breakfasts, great lunches, lovely suppers - and always a big smile.
The apartment itself is really stylish, everything works well, it is quiet and peaceful despite all the life around, and has some really beautiful details. The two window balconies are perfect for a morning coffee or early evening beer, and the stunning roof terrace is the perfect place for aperitifs, with just unbelievable views over to the acropolis - we watched the sunset from there in one of the most memorable evenings in many a year.
And the host also played a part in making it a special weekend - there was a great little guide in the apartment but even before we arrived he was making recommendations - which were great - and really took care of us. Really outstanding care and was great to feel so looked after.
So don't hesitate for a moment about renting this place: one of the best AirBnBs I have ever stayed in - in fact one of the best places I have stayed in full stop.
