Just WOW! You will just love it, My family and I travel to Athens often since we have family there. We've stayed in several places over the years, including numerous hotels in the same area as Manolis's place, but NOTHING has compared to this stay. 1. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! AMAZING!!! Manolis's place is EXACTLY where you want to be if you are wanting to stay in the city centre. You are literally RIGHT in the centre of it all. Shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, minutes from hop on hop off busses, metro etc. We couldn't have asked for a better location! *Also, we take the X95 bus from the airport to Syntagma Square and Manolis's place is only minutes on foot, which was perfect for us considering we had 4 large suitcases, 4 carry ons, 2 diaper bags, 2 strollers, a 6 month old and a 2 year old to transport. His place is also just as easily accessible via metro and, obviously, taxi. 2. SPACIOUS!! There were 5 of us total (3 adults + 2 kids) and this place was a dream. There was room for us to spread out, everyone had a comfortable place to sleep, there was lots of room to open and store our suitcases and plenty of room to lounge and relax. 3. CLEAN! Manolis's place is immaculate. Every inch of this place was sparkling clean. My two year old and 6 month old often rolled around and played on the floor and I had no reservations about this (something I would NEVER allow in a hotel room) 4. AMAZING HOST! All of our questions were answered within minutes and Manoli even offered to come show us how to properly work the balcony shutters if we were unable to figure it out with his instructions. There was coffee, water, oil, salt, pepper, vinegar... (my 2 year old is the pickiest eater and I was able to get eggs and hot dogs from the grocery store and cook them hassle free- no worrying about needing to buy oil or not having pots, pans etc. - something I wouldn't have been able to do in a hotel room). Dish soap was also supplied so I was able to easily wash my 6 month olds bottles. **Upon request, Manoli also provided a playpen crib and high chair for our 6 month old, which made things so much easier for us! 5. SECURITY! Doorman downstairs, locked (at night) main entrance, 3 deadbolts and a bolt lock. I've honestly never felt safer. *The balcony was really nice! We had breakfast out there one morning and, although we didn't get a chance to, we would have loved to have a drink out there at night. All the comforts of home...away from home! I would DEFINITELY recommend Manolis's place and we hope to stay there again on our next trip to Athens!
