Kalliopi’s apartment in the Psyrri neighborhood is a wonderful place to stay in Athens. It’s a stylish and comfortable space. The neighborhood is one of my favorites in Athens — lots of fabulous restaurants and great bars, but with a nice relaxed vibe. (And I just have to say, I had the best moussaka in my life at Stou Mama, just a couple hundred feet away.) This AirBnB is literally right in the midst of it all.
It’s on the fifth floor, but with a quiet and efficient elevator, that’s easy even with luggage in tow. Honestly, the only downside of the space is a result of of hopping neighborhood: as some reviews mentioned, there is bar noise until somewhat late. So if you’re very picky about this and an early sleeper, it might not be ideal. But as soon as the neighboring bar closes, the apartment is actually quieter than any other place I’ve stayed in downtown Athens. Off it’s alley, there is street noise at all, so it’s great for sleeping in.
The apartment is a very short and easy walk to the Monastiraki metro station, which is super convenient if you are coming to or from the airport or Piraeus — or practically anywhere else in Athens! Also very convenient to the Agora and Parthenon and many other sights of Athens.
And Kalliopi was very responsive and clear in all her communication. It was very nice to have a home away from home during our Athens stay :)
