Eleni’s place is perfect for people who want to explore central Athens on foot.
And it’s so close to the metro that coming from the airport is a breeze. It’s one straight 40 minute metro ride.
Monastiraki, Syntagma, Kolokotroni, Agias Eirinis and the Acropolis site are all easy to reach from her place — some by metro and some by walking.
There are several bus connections within minutes, if you prefer that. There’s also an Express airport bus stop two minutes from her door.
As a host, Eleni was responsive, easy to reach out to, always quick to answer my random queries. And so hospitable with the pound cake and nibbles which she left for me at the AirBnB.
The space is comfortable to stay in, clean and very inviting after a long day of exploring Athens.
The apartment is tastefully decorated and well-stocked with amenities like stationery, linen, toiletries and tea and coffee. It has one of the cutest kitchens.
The only downside are small harmless bugs, which I think are there because it’s a basement apartment (with plenty of natural light btw) near a garden. I encountered one roach but I think the entire city has a bit of a problem with that; I don’t think it’s about Eleni’s apartment.
I would stay there again definitely. And highly recommend it.
