Lola’s place is about the best Airbnb place I have ever stayed at. It is in the old Plaka neighborhood and is close to everything you will want and need as a tourist. The building itself may seem unremarkable, but the moment you enter the lobby you will realize it is a designer piece, and more so inside the apartment itself, 1960ish postwar modernist architecture a la Corbusier (if the name means anything to you).
There are three levels. The lower level has two bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The mid level is the huge living / kitchen area, stylishly furnished, complementing the interior design aforementioned, with a private entrance directly from the elevator. In particular, there is a window looking out to the majestic Acropolis (I thought it was a poster when I was browsing through the photos). The upper level is an open terrace that offers a magnificent panorama of the city of Athens (with an imposing presence of the Acropolis again).
I want to emphasize that Lola is the owner of this property, and it shows. These days so many Airbnb listings are essentially just a part of a decentralized hotel, with the vibe of a mini IKEA store. Not Lola’s place! I haven’t had such a wonderful Airbnb experience in a long time (perhaps only once or twice when Airbnb first came on the scene).
