Renata’s place was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. My partner and I stayed for one night in Athens before continuing onward, and we were both so glad we managed to spend one night in such a beautiful apartment!
First of all, the apartment is exactly as pictured — clean, beautiful, tasteful, and nestled off to the side of the Plaka neighborhood, making it a great location for sightseeing and a literal two minute walk from the Acropolis metro stop.
Renata was a very conscientious host and easy to communicate with. She answered promptly and also gave very through directions for checking in, finding the lock box, and getting to the apartment location. She also provided a helpful list of recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing, and local neighborhood locales… we had the best morning coffee of our trip thanks to her list!
The apartment itself is a gem. Setting aside the beautiful aesthetic, everything was clean, easy to use/figure out (WiFi, AC, etc,). The outdoor sitting area was a big highlight, even in the summer heat. Even though the adjacent buildings are close, the sitting area felt very private thanks to the bamboo fencing and lighting. The surrounding neighborhood was much quieter than we expected in the evening — there are a few local bars/restaurants nearby, but night noise was minimal and barely existent once we closed the doors and windows at the end of the night.
Bed was very comfortable and big enough for two. The AC unit is close to the bed and the only one in the apartment, but once on, it provided enough cool air for the whole unit, even with August heat and humidity.
Definitely highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful place to stay in Athens. Literally one of the best AirBnB experiences we’ve had in Europe, both for the ease of getting there, quality of the place, and overall price per night. 10/10 recommend!
We hope to come back and stay again!
