BEST HOSTS EVER. After one month at Matchbox, I can tell you that we have met some of the finest people!
The apartment was even better than as described and shown. It is beautifully appointed. The bed was comfortable and the storage was extensive. The kitchen was very useful with four burners and proper pots, pans and dishes. The location is fantastic - -in an authentic neighborhood surrounded by non-touristy restaurant and bar districts - - yet super close to the Acropolis and all of the bounties that area provides. In addition it sits between 2 metro stops, as well as the tram to the beach and city. 5-7 minutes walk - - so easy. There are two great bakeries very close by, many adequately stocked markets within 2-5 minutes walk and a supermarket 5-7 minutes. I used a very well stocked gym 10 minutes walk away.
The hosts are the most responsive that we have ever encountered. Sincerely. I don’t want to set a precedent so will just give an anecdote. Christos learned that I work on the computer a lot and, on our second day, out of the kindness of his heart, brought me a perfect desk and proper chair, which made my life so so much better! They would frequently check in caring so much about our experience — to the point that you can not help but love them.
There is no question that we would stay here again - whether for short stays or lone ones. Thank you so much Christos! Take care, my friend.
