Where to begin! What an incredible stay. We chose this Airbnb initially just because of the amazing acropolis view, and after staying there we’re so happy we made the choice. The apartment is within walking distance to almost all of the ruins and is super centrally located. It’s only about a 5-10 minute walk to the acropolis site/museum, with lots of amazing restaurants, bars, metro, grocery, and pharmacy within walking distance as well. There’s also a coffee shop just underneath the apartment!
CLEANLINESS:
The apartment was super super clean. There were some general items provided like soap, some dish detergent and laundry detergent. Lots of extra towels and blankets. Everything felt fresh and clean! Our hosts even left us a bottle of amazing wine and cherries, which were much needed after our 15hr travel time, haha.
LOCATION:
It can be hard to know exactly where you’re going to be with Airbnb before booking, but we knew we wanted to have a spot that was within walking distance to everything, as we didn’t want to have to worry about renting a car or taking cabs. We’re big walkers; everything we wanted to do, besides the Kerameikos ruins, were within easy walking distance (for the last one, we took the metro!).
We did some exploring and found some great food and wine options nearby, some of our faves were Wine O’Clock and Wine Stop, and for food we noticed that the main strip (directly next to the museum) had much higher prices than the restaurants that were literally just one more street over (probably to catch tourists).
The view from the balcony of the acropolis was incredible, and we loved being able to sit on the porch during our down time and admire it! The view at night is especially amazing, when they light it up!
We also want to note that we are two women traveling, and the area felt very safe, even when we were coming home at 3am, haha.
MISC NOTES:
We loved the smart tv! We signed in to our own accounts which was really nice for nights where we needed to unwind in the room. We stayed there for a week and never felt like the apartment was cramped. Communication with Pan was super easy when we needed them.
Unrelated to the Airbnb, we recommend anyone trying to see all the ruins get the combined ticket! You can buy it online, or get it at the ticket machine at the acropolis. We bought the combined ticket and did an Athens Walking Tour the first day, and then on the last day of our trip went and visited the acropolis one last time (the tours can move kind of fast!). Walking everywhere was great because we got to see so much, and we highly recommend it if you can!
Thank you again for an amazing stay! Xoxox, Ashley and Sarah
