My friend and I stayed here for two nights. Could easily had stayed more. The apartment is large and roomy with 2 separate bedrooms with a door to a outdoor veranda in both. The modern kitchette has stove fridge microwave and other essentials of you need to cook. Panos stocks it with juice milk and water for your arrival. There is tea and coffee available. A nice bonus is the automatic washing machine! The apartment, I think, is styled in an eclectic and homey fashion. I loved it. Every nook and cranny has something to admire. The floors are beautiful and original to the building. I think it is quite deliberately furnished to remind you of a home long and lovingly lived in and great to kick back in after a day siteseeing. The apartment is spotlessy clean and with windows/veranda doors open quite airy. For hot nights if you close the doors there is AC in each room. There is the cutest 1 man sized elevator in the building to all the floors. You have access to the rooftop to take in the view of the city and Acropolis. The apartment looks out over the semi-pedestrian street of Irakledon (?spelling). This interesting little street leads you directly to Acroplis area and can take a slow walk 10 to 15 minutes to get there. Across from the apartment is a cafe, bakery, restaurant and there are supermarkets may be a block away. The street is pretty, tree lined and active with local people going about doing their business. The neighbourhood Thissio is a residential area so peaceful and feels safe. In the evening when it cools down children come out to play, and the Friday evening we were there, there was live music at either the cafe or pub. I enjoyed sitting on the veranda to people watch. The windows and doors are quite soundproof if needed.
Panos himself is an exceedingly gracious and hospitiple host. He lives in the same building so is easily available if needed. We also met his father (who also lives there) who showed us about the apartment when we got there initially. Panos made a point of meeting up and visiting with us later in the day to ensure we were comfortable. I can't say enough about this host and listing. After this experience I wished we had more time to stay. I have no reservation recommending this AirBnB and would be happy to return (and I will...someday)
Thank you so much for everything Panos!
