This was our first experience using Airbnb and our host Ioulios is a perfect example of what to look for when looking up apartments. From the get go he treated us with respect and was very accomodating.

The apartment is situated in Kolonaki which is 15 minute walk from Syntagma best way to get there on arrival is via taxi which should cost around 20-30 euro depending on traffic. From Syntagma you can get a tram to practically anywhere down towards the coast. Around the apartment you have plenty of options for nightlife and its more of a local scene with less tourists to get in the way. You can walk down towards Ipocrates and around the alleyways or you can walk around likavito (from the back) to get to some awesome bars! (Highly recommended)

On arrival we were greeted by Ioulios (Jul) and he helped carry our bags to the top floor (via lift) where we enetered a luxurious space hosting a loft style apartment with views of the Acropolis, Likavito and Athens. The main living area was perfect for two people with a queen mattress upstairs (with views to the acropolis) including a small single mattress downstairs available for any guests or a third traveller and the biggest blessing in a Greek summer AIR CONDITIONING!

The place is super clean with spare linens provided including clean towels and even thongs (flip flops) to walk around the house in. Shampoo and body wash included alongside some toiletries. Fridge is perfect for stocking local foods.

The balcony is spacious and the bathroom is kept clean all surfaces are white and kept in optimal condition. You also have a computer with internet access should you wish to use it.

All in all our privacy was respected, the place was incredibly handy and central and we had a great time staying there.

Highly recommended for couples or family of 3... We will be staying there again.
