This apartment is a gem--in a class by itself, compared to others in Athens (and more generally). It has a brilliant use of space, a redeized penthouse with an ample terrace with amazing views, and a balcony on the opposite side allowing cross-breeze. There are simple but stylish touches, thoughtful amenities, fully equipped kitchen, etc. It is in a key area, close to the center but away from all the tourist traffic--in between Exarcheia and Kolonaki, and abutting the best walking hill, Mt. Lycabettus. I chose this unit at the last minute for a longer term stay, and consider myself very lucky--walking the Mt. every day for the rigor and view, enjoying Exarcheia's cafes and color, meeting colleagues in Kolonaki. The apartment is a rare find, even more impressive than the (lovely) photos. Karolos has been an exemplary and generous host. One of the best airbnb apartments I have used in global travels, and a reflection of the taste and spirit of the owners. I stayed 5 weeks. Highest recommendation.
