This is hands down the nicest Airbnb place that I have stayed in. The apartment is spacious and minimally, elegantly designed. It has the feel of a garden gazebo, because one whole side of the living/dining area opens on to a large and nicely furnished balcony which looks directly onto the dense pine and cypress forest of adjacent Mt. Lycabettus (which also begs for a hike to the top for gorgeous views of the entire greater Athens area.) And while being peaceful and secluded in one of the city''s chicest enighborhoods, the apartment's location also makes for easy connection to the city center and all its most important historical spaces. The metro is a ten minute walk away and from there you're only two stops from one of the city's center (Syntagma Sq.) and three stops from another of the city's center areas (Monastiraki Sq.)
But you might want to walk to the city center down one of its most elegant and museum-laden avenues, Vs. Sofias.
A five-minute walk from the apartment is Mavilli Sq., which contains everything you need for your stay, a supermarket, a pharmacy, a bakery and a super cool Irish bar.
The owners are also extremely friendly and attentive.
Don't miss out on this place if they're free. Will make your trip to Athens perfect.
