The place couldn't be better located and it was better than a fine 5 star hotel!! It's honestly one of the best if not the best airbnb that we've ever stayed in. The apartment is on the top floor of a building that overlooks a beautiful old church in a square. It's in the middle of the shopping area of Plaka with a few minutes walk to any of the squares and 10 mins to the Acropolis. We walked everywhere with no problems at all as nothing was too far. In the square below there are buskers of different kinds each day that are fun to listen to when the windows are open but the windows are all sound proofed so as soon as you close them it's silent inside and the A/C was great for the hot summer nights. The place is well equiped with a great stocked kitchen, although, there's so much cheap good food on the doorstep that we had no need for cooking. The bed is very comfortable and the bedroom had blackout curtains allowing us to sleep in late. We only had two of us there but there were three full bathrooms of high end hotel quality available if you need them and the showers were really great with good pressure. There's a lift that makes life easier when getting luggage in and out the place saving from carrying up the stairs. The place finished with really high quality finishes and gave me lots of great ideas for my house at home. The appliances are all high end and everything feels well thought out and well cared for as though the people lived there and made sure it was as comfortable as could be. It's also super safe if you're at all worried, which we weren't, but if you were the place is very secure with a security door into the building as well as a high level safety door to the apartment. There's also a safe inside the apartment for your belongings.
Vasileios met us on arrival and showed us through the place as well as pointing us in the direction of great local food and taught us some greek words. We booked the place only hours before arriving but he seemed unphased and as though the last minute request didn't bother him at all. He was very friendly and nice and organised us a transfer to the airport. He was quick to reply to any questions and was available to us at anytime.
I'd give this place 10/10 and would love to come back to Athens to stay here again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone and would happily stay here with more people as privacy and noise are not a problem between bedrooms and there is plenty of space for everyone. If you're looking at his place on airbnb look no further and book it. It's totally worth the slightly higher price tag than other cheap places in Athens.
Also if you're looking for Aussie style coffee and brunches then we found Taf Coffee (8mins), Sweet Bloom (4mins) and The Underdog (15mins) all of which were close by for walking and the walks there were a good way to explore the area. The supermarket is at the door of the apartment building, good gelato is also so close you barely have to leave the building. We went to many of the places Vasileios recommended and the food was great so I would trust his recommendation.
