Toni's home is a beautiful, spacious space located near the Omonia metro station area.
Let's start with the positives:
1. HUGE space - Big bathrooms, spacious bedrooms, beautiful modern kitchen. The space seems recently renovated and the showers were fantastic. The pictures do not do justice for the enormous size.
2. Literally a few steps away from the Omonia metro station. You can be Monastiraki and Plaka in one stop, which is about 5 minutes away.
3. Toni and his team were pretty responsive when we tried to reach out to them.
4. Wonderful accommodations - from the late checkout, to storing our luggage before our flight, even the minor touches of the water, tea, and Korres product and towels and of course hair dryer and even a washing machine.
Let's start with the negatives:
1. LACK OF WIFI AND MOBILE SERVICE - There was absolutely no WIFI at all in the apartment. Toni and his team had sent the cable company to check and stated "Due to the weather (a rain the day we arrived), the service was slow." However, we did not have mobile service either. Perhaps it was the building we were in, rather than due to the weather conditions (as we had Wifi at the restaurants and cafes we were at). However, Toni and his team were willing to try to help and even though the problem persisted, they refunded a meager portion of our stay to accommodate.
2. SHADY NEIGHBORHOOD - Even though the apartment was located near the Omonia metro station, the neighborhood made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable at night. There were grown men loitering on the streets at night and we heard shouting from our windows. In the morning and afternoon, it is a bustling commercial area with people.
3. LACK OF PRIVACY - There was a huge glass window in the foyer which is directly in front of the staircase and elevator. A shade is covering it, but there was a lot of gapping as the shade curved, which allows for any passerby to view into the apartment and directly in to the bedroom. In addition, the hideaway doors between the living room and bedroom had a gap as well, which does not allow for privacy.
Overall, it was a good stay aside from a few hiccups.
