Konstantinos' apartment is the perfect place to stay in Athens. It's centrally located in the colourful neighbourhood of Exarchia, with bus and trolley stops just a minute away and metro stations a short walk away. It's quick and easy to walk into the tourist and main shopping areas of Athens from the apartment. The large park of Pedion Areos is practically on the doorstep, and there are lots of great places to eat in the area around the apartment.
The apartment itself is exactly as it appears in the photos - spacious, clean and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The built-in wardrobes in the bedroom offer plenty of storage for clothes, so you can unpack and make yourself at home. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials and there are cleaning products and equipment in the cupboards. The bed is really comfortable - I'm always concerned that beds away from home will be unkind to my back, but the bed in Konstantinos' apartment was fantastic, and I woke up with a happy back every morning after a sound night's sleep every night. The apartment is very quiet. Even though it is so close to one of the largest avenues in Athens, I couldn't hear any traffic at all. The doors and windows are new and very secure, and all the neighbours I encountered were very friendly.
Konstantinos sent clear instructions on how to find and check into the apartment, and he also left clear instructions on how to operate the heating, hot water, WiFi, etc in the apartment. He was a friendly and helpful host, on hand to answer any questions. I felt completely at home in his apartment, and it felt very strange to leave it after my two-week stay. I hope I will be able to stay there again next time I visit Athens. Thank you, Konstantinos!
