Ilias manages the bookings but it’s his parents you’ll be staying with, and you couldn’t imagine a lovelier couple. They were fantastic hosts - so kind and thoughtful, happy to chat but also happy to give you your own space and privacy. This is Airbnb at its best - staying with true locals in their home and experiencing real life in a different city.
Plus, the house is very quiet considering its central location and the neighbourhood is one of the most interesting and vibrant in Athens. Great cafes and restaurants, unique little shops, and a fabulous street market on Saturday mornings. Don’t mind the graffiti everywhere - this is just superficial “decoration” from past years and no one even notices or cares about it anymore. It’s the people inside the buildings who make this such a great area to stay in.
