This place is amazing! Communication with Efi & Ana was great from the beginning, even before we booked this apartment on AirBnB. They helped us arrange a taxi to and from the airport.
Check in was simple. Their instructions were clear and things were exactly as they described or as pictured. The stairway was wide enough to carry large bags up to the apartment, but it was nice to have an elevator available if we needed it.
The apartment itself was perfect for me, my husband, and my teenage daughter. Separate bedrooms and bathrooms for privacy, but also lots of room in the living room, kitchen, and terrace when we wanted to sit together. The decor was simple and stylish. And everything was so clean!
Access to the rooftop terrace was pretty awesome. The VIEW is indescribable - you just have to see it for yourself! During the day or at night, and even when the weywas dreary, the view of the city and the Acropolis was breathtaking!
Location was everything! The apartment is in Psyrri, with all the cafes, restaurants, and dessert shops within a 2-minute walk. It is also right across the street from the Monastiraki Market, and down the street from all the shops along Ermou near Syntagma Square. The famous Little Kook cafe is around the corner, and the world-renowned Greek Sandal Maker (Poet) is 2 blocks from the apartment. Also within an easy walk are the Ancient Agora, Hadrian’s Library, the Roman Agora, Plaka, and - of course - the Acropolis. Philopappos Hill, The Temple of Zeus, and the Olympic Stadium were a little further, but not impossible; just more of a 15-20 minute walk than a 5-10 minute walk ;-)
Tip: the restaurant right next door, Atlantikos, is fantastic if you like fresh seafood! We ate here several times during our trip. Try their honey-raki!
Tip 2: the Polis Hammam across the way is worth a visit! But if this is something you’re interested in, go early during your trip to make an appointment! The atmosphere is so chic, scents are so calming, and the massage was delightful!
We would definitely try to book this apartment if we ever head to Athens again!
