What a great stay at Yannis and Tax’s place! The apartment itself has recently been fully renovated so everything in it was brand new, modern, spacious and clean. I liked the whole decor, which I found to be both elegant and cozy. Since I’m not the easiest sleeper I was happy to see that the mattress was very comfortable and that there were blackout curtains in the bedrooms. Having been to Athens before I know that having hot water all day and still being able to take a hot shower in the evening is not always a given depending on where you stay. Thankfully, this was not the case here and I had more than enough hot water every day. The kitchen was fully stocked and the wine and cookies left by the hosts were a very nice touch!
The outdoor space is huge! Larger than expected. Both bedrooms and living room have direct access to it by sliding door. The plunge pool was definitely a highlight, and the hosts made sure that it remained clean and warm throughout my stay.
This was my first time staying in that area of Athens (aptly named the “Acropolis” area) and I’m glad I discovered it. The apartment is quite close to the Acropolis museum and Acropolis “walk” (a 5 mins walk tops) which is great in itself but also allows you to easily find your way to other neighbourhoods such as Plaka. The apartment is located downtown so it’s at a walking distance to all services such as shops, groceries restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, metro, etc.
Yannis and Tax are amazing, professional hosts, they really went out of their way to make sure that I had everything I needed. They arranged a very nice transfer from the airport and were very adaptable when I had to delay my arrival. I enjoyed my stay so much that I decided to extend it. Overall a positive experience all the way!
