First of all, the location is excellent! It is located right in the middle of monastiraki. I took the train from the airport and was right in the middle of everywhere to eat, walking to plaka, acropolis, lots of rooftop bars. Like it was totally excellent. Don’t let the ride street fool you, or the door to the apartment. As soon as you walk in you are transformed into this beautifully decorated apartment. Beautiful balcony with view of acropolis. The touches in the apartment are excellent. Niki welcomed us with a bottle of wine and treats that was exquisite in taste! After a long day of walking around Athens center, you can come back and lounge on the couch that is soooo comfy. Niki left us food to make breakfast so that was a nice touch. Really one of my best Airbnb experiences. There is heavy smoking all around Athens so you can smell when someone is smoking in the building. But I just open the patio and it is aired out within a few minutes. I recommend the Homey Bar if you are staying there. It’s an excellent option for cocktails. Cash only, no card! 🙂
