Wow Wow Wow. Where do I begin to explain how wonderful and amazing this AirBnB is, from the cute and beautiful stylings and attention of detail to the furnishings, from the great and immensely beautiful view of the Acropolis that made me feel warm every night (aside from the heat!! lol!) ((DON'T WORRY THERE IS AC!!!)), to the amazing and responsive communication between the host and I when ever I needed advice, this place is the REAL DEAL! Please, if you are ever looking for a place to settle, and are looking for a location ACCESSIBLE to the city center and key destinations, as well as an accommodation that goes above and beyond in style (not just your average ikea furniture inserts), to the most amazing, down to earth, and communicative host, PLEASE BOOK THIS AIRBNB! You will not regret it! LGBTQ+ Please read below though,
One important thing I wasn't aware of before coming to Athens was the crowd that shisha/hookah bars attract, which as a VISIBLY queer and trans person, I was not prepared for the experience of transphobia/homophobia I received from the patrons. It was the one thing about this location that will keep me from returning to this AMAZING and LOVELY Airbnb. I wish it could be picked up and relocated to a less dangerous area, but alas that is not the case. I feel like as much of an enjoyable and amazing place this is in regards to really experiencing the city, I received comments, loud gestures, lasers pointed at me, piercing stares, and harassment along those lines on a DAILY basis. Please reconsider this location if you are VISIBLY queer as it really put a damper on my, aside from this, amazing experience in Athens. If you blend into society then please understand that you will be completely safe in this location, and will not draw bad attention, but unfortunately I didn't do my research well enough, and I became a laughing stock target every time I walked by it. I will clarify that no one ever put their hands on me, nor got too close to my space, just a major source of discomfort that you should know about (and wish I had myself,), as a Visibly Queer person.
Visibly Queer people do not rent here! Everyone else, THIS IS THE PERFECT SPOT! The pictures do not do the location justice. My experience wasn't completely ruined by these encounters, and I managed to make memories I will remember forever!
Kudos again to the most amazing and attentive airbnb host I have seen on this platform!
