So much to say. If your travels take you to Athens, do stay at Filipos's Airbnb penthouse---I assure you that you'll be glad you made that decision. First, the location is right in the heart of the Plaka, old town. Your walk to the Acropolis, Agora, Syntagma Square, Monastiraki neighborhood, and Temple of Zeus are all within a 10 minute stroll past churches, gardens, restaurants and lively shops, etc. The apartment is modern, very comfortable, scrupulously clean, and the views of the Acropolis and Parthenon.......spectacular. We booked 7 nights, and every afternoon, we'd return, pour a drink, discuss our adventures and appreciate that view. It really was one of the highlight to the day---coming home. We searched many Airbnb offerings and are so pleased we found this one.
Filipos, he's the best. Beyond being gracious and thoughtful, his communication with you will be second to none. He arranged both a rental car and taxi to the airport for us. He welcomed our arrival with pastries, cold soda and beers, espresso coffees, to name a few. He suggested 6 restaurants, we dined at 5, one twice. All were terrific. We decided to take a two day road trip and his countryside recommendations were perfect. We can not say enough about him or his flat---both greatly exceeded our expectations.
