If you’re planning on a trip to Athens, I can’t imagine a better place to stay then at Magda’s flat. She’s a Super Host, and she 100% deserves this epitaph. When I was searching Air BnB for a place to stay in Athens, I had more than 300 places from which to choose, and I don’t think I could have possibly chosen better. I can say without question of all the places I’ve stayed with Air BnB, this stay was unquestionably the best. The apartment is centrally located and is within walking distance of nearly all the desired sites in ancient Athens. For example, the Acropolis is only a 5 minute walk, and a walk to Syntagma Square is only 10–15 minutes.
The apartment itself is superlative. It’s spacious, extremely well appointed, & very clean/quiet. The flat has a full-size living room with a large couch and a cable TV. There’s also a designated dining area with a nice, large table that I not only used to dine, but since the table was so large, I used it to spread out my maps and planned my excursions for the day. A working desk for a computer was also supplied to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi, and I made plenty of use in this area. The bedroom is relatively large and has lots of storage. In addition, Magda supplies a very comfortable queen-size bed which is relatively rare in Europe. The restroom area was more than adequate, and Magda supplied amenities of which I took advantage. The kitchen is surprisingly large and is especially well equipped. Magda advertises a free breakfast, and I had a daily supply of 2 types of bread, eggs, jelly/jam, butter, oranges, & both French press & espresso coffee. The kitchen was also fully supplied with cooking/eating utensils, a toaster, stove, French press, espresso machine and even a washer of which I took frequent advantage.
The bottom line is if I could give Magda more than five stars, I would’ve done so without reservation. As far as I’m concerned, Magda’s flat is the place to stay if you’re coming to Athens and want to be in the center of ancient Athens. I absolutely guarantee you you can’t go wrong with this decision.
