We spent five days and four nights in John’s apartment at the end of our two week vacation around Greece. John’s apt did not disappoint! From the very beginning, his communication style was detailed, friendly and fast. He gave clear instructions for the easiest way to arrive via Metro Train from Piraeus Port and helpful travel hints along the way.
We met John at his restaurant around the corner from the apt (shameless plug - it’s amazing!!) where he walked us over to the apt and showed us which key was which. To echo prior reviews - the location is perfect for Athens. You are in the middle of everything, surrounded by endless cafes (morning coffee and pastries) shops and delicious restaurants — but the apt is on a quiet side street, so you avoid the bustling bars & music outside your balcony.
During our stay we used the washing machine (great!) and cocktailed every evening on the patio before dinner (which is an oasis in itself!). The water pressure was perfect (I have thick, long hair) and we had enough hot water for two separate back to back showers. There are plenty of outlets to charge all of your appliances and the TV is a Samsung Smart TV - so I was able to AirPlay movies from my iPad when we were winding down for bed.
We felt very safe in the neighborhood and walked everywhere from the apt aside from our arrival and departure.
Obviously from the photos, the place is beautifully decorated and everything was sparkling clean, but what made our stay in Athens was John’s genuine interest in making sure we had a wonderful time. His recommendations and overall cheerful demeanor was icing on the cake. We will most certainly stay at John’s apt, again, during our next visit to Athens.
