The host: Many thanks to Theo, the perfect host! Although invisible, he was always available, very responsive and helpful. He provided a proper breakfast kit: coffee, milk, toast, orange juice, butter, marmelade, honey, mineral water and a bottle of white wine.
The city: Beside the historic monuments Athens has so many cool places to eat or have a drink or a coffee! Shopping (don´t miss Kolonaki with its designer boutiques) and nightlife (we recommend Psirri - where the loft is located - and Gazi) are also great!
The loft: The photos don´t promise too much. The loft is stunning. It´s optimally equipped. You have a big variety to illuminate the rooms and the terrace, which makes the loft very cozy. A Nespresso coffee machine (including capsules) and a milk foamer are waiting for you. The big refridgerator features a freezer and an icecube-maker, very comfortable for enjoying your Aperol Sprizz on the terrace. No need to go to a day spa – relaxing in the jacuzzi with Acropolis view can`t be beaten. For your entertainment there is a big smart tv with Netflix, Youtube and many satellite channels as well as professional speakers for your personal music.
The location: Fantastic – in the center of the center of Athens. Could not be better for all purposes. The biggest food market of Athens is right in front of the house. Either a bakery and a little supermarket. The two central Metro stations (Omonia and Monastiraki) are 400 meters away. All sorts of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops can easily be reached by foot.
Finally one word concerning the "bad area" as stated in other reviews. Yes, opposite the loft there is a little square, where drug addicted people consume drugs. Due to the wellknown weak social situation in Greece scenes like these can be watched in many quarters of Athens. By the way: drug consumption is a common phenomenon in most big cities. We experienced those poor guys as absolutely harmless and we never felt unsafe at any time!
All in all a we had a great stay. If we visit Athens again, we definitely will choose Theos great loft!
