First, allow me to commend Airbnb for the selection of this apartment as a Style Home. Our group really loved the clean decor and functionality of the space.
This unit is in a newly refurbished block.
Location: At Pagrati region, next to the National Gardens and 20 min walk from Syntagma Square. The end of this street (about 5-7min) has a number of eateries and supermarket. Many would choose to live closer to Syntagma Square cause it is closer to the ruins, but this place has its own charm. Not quite as busy and is nice and quiet.
Apartment: We were 2 families supposed to share a 5 bedroom apartment. But we moved to 2 3 bedroom units which were amazing too. Very functional, small dishwasher, oven, microwave, Nespresso machine (no pods), coffee, sugar. Iron, hairdryer, drying rack were available. Space was clean, sheets and towels were luxurious. Outside spaces were clean and well kept. There were 4 TVs in the place, one in living and one in each room. Netflix access was available from the people running the place. it had central heating as well as aircons cum heaters.
Amenities: At the basement level, there was a laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers. There was a fairly well equipped gym as well (which you almost never see in an Airbnb). It has one treadmill which was important to me! There was a small lift that helped in moving heavy suitcases up and down the property.
Hosts: A group of friends run the property and Carolina was the one whom we communicated with. We communicated questions through WhatsApp before the trip and met in person when we arrived. Carolina was amazing, staying back after hours to help us out when we had some problems with the units. She also helped to order delivery food! Above and beyond the call of duty.
We enjoyed our time in the apartments and would highly recommend anyone wanting a good experience in Athens.
