Pros: The location is perfect for exploring Athens by foot. Lots of restaurants are just a few minutes walk, too. The apartment is small but still perfect for 2 people who will mostly be eating out, is cutely decorated and has the basics for coffee/tea, continental breakfasts. Manos was super friendly and helpful when you stop in at his bakery.
Cons: Although Manos was absolutely wonderful in person, his responsiveness via the app simply didn’t happen (asked questions 2 different times and no response). We had good directions to arrive from the airport but zero idea what to do upon arrival. Luckily the reviews say to hunt him down at the bakery - we did and were able to get settled in. The air con is not sufficient for the unit- it only blows in one corner of the kitchen (away from bedroom) and it’s angle and power cannot be changed to make up for this. There is a fan in the bedroom but it’s only circulating hot air. This shouldn’t be an issue though if you travel any time but summer. The shower has good pressure and gets plenty hot but the head must be held in the hand-when in the holder, it is too high (like 6.5’) and only sprays the opposite wall. A simple swivel to angle the head down or lowering of fixed holder would be a big improvement.
Other than these relatively minor things, we loved Manos’ place!👍🏼
