Let me start by saying, if your search of where to stay in Athens lead you to Yannis, stop right now and book it! Without question, this is THE best place to be for the view, comfort, access around town, and world renown Greek hospitality. Yannis is the gold standard when it comes to Airbnb... quick and helpful communication, greeted us upon arrival and even carried our bags, set us up with a private tour guide Irene (who was absolutely fantastic; I highly recommend a food tour with her), had everything we would need for our stay including maps in the desk, laundry soap, shampoo, extra towels, hairdryer, iron, cleaning supplies, floor bolted safe, Nespresso machine, even a panini press.... but best of all, a stocked fridge with local goods (including homemade jam his uncle made) including fresh bakery bread awaiting us after travel was very much appreciated. Nothing was left for want, and every nook and cranny of his place was impeccably clean; right down to the crisp white sheets awaiting us on a very comfortable bed loaded with pillows. You can even log into your Netflix or Amazon Prime with the smart tv after a log day and night of touring for some added R&R. His attention to detail is remarkable, but his love of creating a home away from home for guests is even more so. So much so, that it was difficult to even want to return home. Meeting us again for our departure, he even gave us a parting gift, even though the best gift given us was already that of his generosity and thoughtfulness. Truly a remarkable and extraordinary host in every way possible. The apartment is everything you see in the photos and then some; it includes many hidden surprises.... I'll let you discover them for yourself ;) Come to find out, the place was showcased in a magazine and book - easy to see why as it's so well thought out and tastefully decorated. But the view, I have to say it's even better than photos allow for! The museum is lit from the inside in the evening, feeling as if you're looking into a postcard while the Parthenon bookends the landscape from the other side. The Acropolis and Parthenon are at your feet, as is the Metro stop directly across the street (great for people watching from the balcony) along with hip cafes, convenient mini mart, local artisans, bakeries, and a little wine shop which was a quick 5 min. walk away. This was definitely the chic end of Plaka, and a stones throw away is old Plaka architecture, closer to the base of the Acropolis, where you can find a more local flavor of old world ambience with cafes tucked into the steps of the hill and where tourists are fewer. Of all the places I've stayed around the world, this ranks as number one for overall Airbnb lodging and experience. Five star across the board without hesitation. I will...
