This Airbnb couldn’t have been more perfect for my needs! It was super quiet yet just 2 blocks from the pedestrian street of Apostolos Pavlos and all the sights seemed to be within a 10 minute walk including the entrance to the Acropolis, which you can see as you walk towards the Apostolos Pavlos walking street.
It was a nice, safe area with local conveniences and cute restaurants in the side streets, too. As a bonus, if you have kids, there was a playground at the intersection of the Nileos street with the Apostolos Pavlos walking street.
Because of the baby I find it easiest to find a comfortable Airbnb where I can have the conveniences of home. This was THE perfect airbnb for families or even if you don’t need all the baby amenities too.
It was a spacious 2-bedroom apartment well equipped with a coffee maker, kettle, oven, and washing machine. For the baby it offered a crib, high chair, and we found something that looked like a baby tub. It also has blackout shutters, which is ideal for a good night sleep for adults and babies too.
As a bonus there was a pharmacy, a small local vegetable market right next door, and a grocery store across the street. This was super convenient because I was able to order the baby’s formula at the pharmacy and buy diapers, baby wipes, and baby food at the grocery store (although options were limited).
I love staying in a central location right in the middle of all the action but also stay in accommodation that gives me a sense for what it’s like to live at the destination. This Airbnb did just that. I felt like I got a chance to “live” in Athens even for a moment. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay from 5 to 10 days!
IT EVEN HAD AN ELEVATOR perfect for a baby or if you don’t want to have to worry about carrying your luggage up 3 flights of stairs!!! I was so happy about not having to make the climb to the 3rd floor everyday with the baby and stroller. Note that it’s a rather small elevator so there was just enough room for the travel-size stroller and me so my boyfriend would usually take the stairs.
All in all, I highly recommend it for families that want to be in a comfortable, safe, and central location with all the conveniences of home.
I also booked their airport transfers and they were very professional and also offered a car seat, too. Just make sure to request this in advance.
