I almost feel like I want to keep this a secret just for myself but since I can't be in Greece as often as I wish I'll share the fact that every single aspect about this airbnb is beyond perfection so that others can enjoy a stay at this special place.
From the moment I inquired about booking the flat for myself and my daughter-in-law to enjoy 4 days in Athens the communication with Dimitrios was kind, clear and helpful and because of all the information he provided we felt comfortable before even arriving.
We were greeted warmly upon arrival by Dimitrios and Aleka with fresh fruit, wine, cake and an immediate feeling of friendship. Dimitrios and Aleka love their city of Athens and are passionate about sharing tips on where to go, what to do and see and where to find the best gelato, greek coffee and traditional greek dinners. You could not ask for more accommodating hosts!
As far as the flat...it's absolutely lovely! It is immaculately clean - at first we actually thought we might have been the first people to stay there as everything seemed brand new but then we read the guest book and learned we were not the first...it's just THAT clean and perfect! It is so artfully and beautifully decorated from the light fixtures to the toilet paper holder and towel racks - everywhere you look you notice another special feature. The flat also felt very spacious with 2 large bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, large eating area, comfortable living room, a sweet balcony overlooking the street (in a great neighborhood!), a lovely bathroom with no lack of hot water for a refreshing shower at the end of a busy day!
The flat is located on the first floor of the building but no worries about getting your luggage up as there is an elevator.
The location was great too! We were in a nice neighborhood with access to everything we might want and in very close proximity to Plaka, Syntagma Square and Monstiraki. The Acropolis and most everything is within walking distance.
I could say so much more about the location, the flat and the hosts - all of it excellent!
I absolutely loved our time here and wouldn't even consider anything else on my next trip to Athens. This has become my home away from home and Dimitrios and Aleka feel like my new Greek family members - they absolutely showed us the true meaning of the phrase "Greek Hospitality"!
