Stamatis's place was much better than expected. It is a bit more pricey than other AirBnBs in Athens, however, the extra money is worth it for several reason. The house is a restored neo-classical building in the heart of Athens, in the Exarchia neighbourhood and a welcome change from the usually monotonous appartment buildings that make up most of Athens. The appartment is far more spacious than suggested in the pictures and is ideal for architecture and art lovers (there is an impressive collection of art books to browse through in the kitchen). All necessary amenities (renovated bathrooms, coffee machine, microwave ovens, etc.) are included and the lack of air conditioning is compensated by the very effective fans in each room. The building as such in very quite, however, the neighbourhood Exarchia is a different story. Visitors interested for something more than the usual tourist route are at the right place here. Exarchia offers a very authentic experience of contemporary Athens and is full of bookshops, taverns, restaurants and bars (both mainstream and alternative) frequented mostly, but not only, students and intellectuals. Not exactly a place for peace and quite, although this applies to much of central Athens. The street where the house is located is relatively quite, as it is not located directly at the square. Stamatis was a very helpful host and readily available for questions and other information, we also found basic goods already in place in the appartment (bottled water, coffee, tea, etc.). We would seriously consider Stamatis's place in case of an eventual second visit to Athens.
