Athina and Eleni were fantastic hosts. They communicated promptly via text and phone. As our flight was arriving very, very late from the U.S., they kindly arranged for their driver to meet us at the airport, give us two sets of keys and show us the apartment, including the Wifi and hot water switch.
We loved how impeccably clean and modern the apartment was and how comfortable the beds and linens were. All the necessities we needed were there, including dish soap/sponge/dish towels, paper towels, plenty of toilet paper, liquid hand soap, and extra towels. It was very, very quiet. They even provided a nice bottle of white wine (and Netflix)!
As my Greek husband grew up just a few blocks away, we know the area well and it is a safe and high-end location. Given that this apartment is in what I call the “Beverly Hills” of Athens, the price was extremely reasonable.
We were blocks from the Lycabettus Hill entrance and love to take the funicular/cable car up and hike down. The apartment is close to several great restaurants and a short walk to the center of Kolonaki, where there are many awesome shops and cafes. The little patio with the table and chairs is perfect for morning coffee.
If you have mobility issues, I would not recommend this location, as it is on a hill. However, we got in some great exercise to burn off the calories from all of the amazing pastries and gelato we treated ourselves to in the area (especially Despina).
We stayed for 8 nights. I would not hesitate to recommend Athina and/or Eleni as hosts and look forward to returning to this AirBnb in the future. The photos were spot on and I highly recommend it.
