Our stay at the apartment in Athens was comfortable, and upon walking in every time you are greeted with a magnificent view of the Parthenon. We appreciated the evening view from the living room area while streaming channels on the television, and seeing the Parthenon, as a beacon across the city of Athens, with its up-lighting on a beautiful structure. The apartment was perfect for the both of us, bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, and kitchen was tidy. What was really important to us was the availability of having a washer, and drying our clothes on the balcony. Walking to the major points of interests around the city were EASILY accessible from the apartment - bring and wear nice pair of walking shoes, dress and layer comfortably. The Acropolis is directly across the street; Plaka with its restaurants and shopping was close by; Monastiraki with more restaurants was close by; other points of interests such as the Parliament and Pananthenaic Stadium was also close by. Probably the farthest we walked was for what we considered the best Greek yogurt at Stani - a must have while in Athens, and do not leave Athens without having your share.
What was most impressive about our experience were the openness and responsiveness in communicating via AirBnB messages with the hosts, while planning and leading up to the trip. Upon arrival to Athens, communicating via WhatsApp on expectations for checking in made the whole execution process seamless. We highly recommend using the coordinated airport transfers. Especially in this COVID era with conducting and preparing for rapid COVID Tests, the hosts will recommend and facilitate locations. Your driver will show you historical monuments, provide you recommendations on where to eat and shop, and provide additional assistance in checking in the apartment.
We look forward to working with these hosts who provided open communication, professionalism, and courteous service, to help us experience memorable Greek culture, food, and exploration of a very lively city of Athens.
