This location could not have been better. The views of Athens, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon were amazing and, if anything, understated in the description. Lounging by the pool at night the Parthenon was bright and large on the horizon. The internet was fast and each room had smart TVs with Netflix built in for down time. This is an ultra-modern apartment. The window into the bottom of the pool in the ceiling of the living room was a great surprise and made for some excellent photos of the kids asking like fools in the water. The lights from the city through the water made dappled shadows on the living room walls at night. For a very urban location the apartment is very quiet inside. The apartment was very well furnished with modern, comfortable, and clean furniture. The bathrooms were luxurious and also very clean. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need with one exception- For a city that takes it coffee very seriously the coffee machine in the location is sub par and something you'd find in any low end hotel. Considering we discussed the importance of good coffee prior to arriving this was especially disappointing. This might not be a big deal to some folks, but it was to us and definitely out of place with attention to detail paid to the rest of the apartment. Otherwise everything was perfect. Emmanuela, our host, was extremely helpful in booking all of our transportation as well as engaging, informative, and exclusive excursions (including a catamaran tour with food and drinks inclusive on the Aegean Sea) and tours. The process for these services were extremely reasonable. We were very pleased with all of our tour guides. At first arrival the house might appear to be poorly located, and in a slightly rough neighborhood. We quickly discovered that this is not the case. We were just a few steps from excellent food and sights - completely safe and sound. Speaking of food, the souvlaki restaurant (Ψησταριά - Ο Πέτρος - Πιάτσα Καλαμάκι - Souvlaki στα κάρβουνα) directly next door to the entrance of the apartment is fantastic. As ex-pats we're more well heeled than most Americans but we found thew location extremely walk-able. All of the famous neighborhoods are just a short walk away. We walked past the Parthenon to the apartment many times during our stay and from most of the downtown districts you might like to see. We did not need to taxi at all. Recommended local places: Underdog Iraklidon 8, Athina - 10 min walk -Brunch Λεμονανθός Lemonanthos (Lemon tree) Troon 34 - 15 min walk - Dinner - AMAZING - excellent people - excellent food Pervoli Vari - Aten, Kirgion, Vari 166 - We booked this with Emmanuela for a tour and olive oil tasting (we found out later that she does honey tasting and production tours as well) I cannot recommend this place, its owner, and its restaurant higher - You must go here. Worth the trip. Emmanuela also booked us for a food tasting tour through the city ending with a wine tasting. This was awesome and I learned so much about the area and foods I would have never even seen. I highly recommend this location. I plan on using it again when we come back in the spring.

Πραγματικά καταπληκτικό για διαμονή! Πλήρως εξοπλισμένο! Ένα σύγχρονο loft, με ενιαίο χώρο, στην καρδιά της πόλης. Η εξυπηρέτηση και οι οδηγίες ήταν ΑΨΟΓΕΣ. Οι ιδιοκτήτες έχουν ετοιμάσει έναν ΚΑΤΑΠΛΗΚΤΙΚΟ οδηγό για όλες τις συσκευές του σπιτιού, και ο,τιδήποτε σκεφθείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις, με σημειώσεις για το που βρίσκεται τί. Όλος ο εξοπλισμός είναι καινούργιος και υψηλής αισθητικής, μοντέρνος και φροντισμένος. Καταπληκτικό το τζάκι. Πολύ μεγάλη βεράντα. Μεγάλα παράθυρα με πολύ καλή συσκότιση. Δύο τηλεοράσεις, στο σαλόνι και απέναντι από το κρεβάτι. Απέναντι από την Τεχνόπολη και το Πάρκο Κεραμικού. Δίπλα στην Πειραιώς, με μεγάλο δρόμο μπροστά και κοντά στις γραμμές του τρένου που μπορεί η φασαρία να ενοχλεί κάποιους, αλλά είναι δίπλα στο μετρό και σε όλες τις συγκοινωνίες, ενώ παρέχει parking - παροχή που δύσκολα βρίσκεις σε σπίτια στην Αθήνα. Πολύ καλή θέρμανσ-κλιματισμός, καινούργιο και πλήρως εξοπλισμένο μπάνιο. Η κουζίνα επίσης πλήρως εξοπλισμένη, δεν της έλειπε κυριολεκτικά τίποτε - μόνη βελτίωση η εγκατάσταση μεγάλου, αντί μικρού, ψυγείου, που όμως δεν θα ταιριάζει εύκολα στο design του σπιτιού. Σαλόνι για βραβείο, που βλέπεις ταυτόχρονα θέα, τζάκι και TV. Πιο πίσω τραπέζι και σκαμπώ μπαρ για ποτό ή φαγητό. Γραφείο για εργασία και πολύ καλό και μεγάλο κρεβάτι. Με λίγα λόγια, πραγματικά από τα καλύτερα AirBnB που έχω μείνει. Λίγο ακριβό, αλλά αξίζει τα χρήματά του, ιδίως στην καραντίνα που το πέτυχα μάλλον σε προσφορά! Και η υπεύθυνη της εταιρείας διαχείρισης, η Εμμανουέλα, πραγματικά άμεση στις απαντήσεις και εξυπηρετική σε όλα: φρόντισε για επιπλέον μερίδες καφέ στην Illy Espresso καφετιέρα (με τις ειδικές κάψουλες της Illyπου δεν βρίσκεις εύκολα) αλλά και για μπριγκέτες ξύλου για το ενεργειακό τζάκι μέσα σε λίγες ώρες.

Μπράβο!

Emmanuela’s Athens condo is amazing. We are a family of 5 and it was perfect for us. After 2 weeks of travel, we were pretty much ready to head home and THEN we arrived at her place and we got our travel mojo back. It’s even better than the photos. It’s very stylish, totally kitted out, exceptionally clean and OMG THAT POOL!!! We loved being walking distance from the Acropolis, close to trendy restaurants and the pool was such a treat to cool off in the city at the end of each day. The information and suggestions provided were perfect. Emmanuela met us at check-in and answered all of our questions. We would DEFINITELY stay here on our next visit. This is my favourite AirBNB to-date.

This place ranks amongst the best listings I’ve ever stayed in. Should get an Airbnb prize! Seriously nicely done in terms of the contemporary architecture, design, amenities, and functionality. I can’t say enough good things about it. Of course, the rooftop with pool is the eye-catcher, and if the weather is nice (which is most of the time in Athens), you won’t want to leave it. Even better than the pictures, and Emmanuela from the Hostmaster company was super friendly and efficient in communications and instructions. A dream place, really.

Overall, OUTSTANDING!

Amazing home, stylish, perfectly clean, very comfortable bed and pillows, great security for my precious items, alarm system, great bathroom, parking space, the house is in a great location of Athens, it provides privacy and the windows are completely sound proofing. The illy coffee was amazing, kitchen fully equipped, Air conditioning is more than enough with 2 of them for the entire place, Athens was hot on the days of my stay and I used only the one AC. Emmanuela is ultra professional everything was perfectly explained on a home notebook. One of my best airbnb experiences.

Definitely will book again.

One of the BEST Airbnbs I've stayed at! The space is modern and extremely clean--Emmanuela has literally thought of everything to ensure you have an enjoyable an care free stay. The guide book (of which she emails a PDF version in advance) answers practically every question you can think of, complete with photos of icons of every amenity, its location, and operation. Emmanuela is extremely communicative, detailed and organized. She was gracious enough to allow us early check-in, even though we had just booked the night before. As we were stuck in Milos due to bad weather conditions and had to make a last minute flight and stay in Athens, we were extremely grateful for this as we were exhausted from all the travel and delays. I would not hesitate to stay here again and recommend her BNB to anyone traveling to the city. Easy train ride to and from the airport and centrally located.

Thank you so much!
