We are a family of 7, including 3 young children and a baby. Akrivi's apartment met all our needs - comfortable sleep, functional and clean kitchen and bathroom, washer and space to dry our laundry, space for family meals and quick accessibility to supermarket and public transport.
Most of all, Panos - Akrivi's brother was a wonderful host who responded to all our questions and needs quickly. Patient, helpful, friendly, understanding and kind! Thank you Panos! :)
The apartment has air-conditioning for the warmer nights when we stayed. except for one room, which only has fan - but it was no problem for us - we slept well!
To be clear, the apartment is near to a tram stop, not a metro (nor what I would consider subway in my country but maybe its different definition here). But we actually preferred taking the tram directly into Athens center (like Syntagma Square). If you need to take the train (or metro) then the closest Metro Station Neos Kosmos is only one tram stop away from Akrivi's stop. Very easy, very fast and frequent services too.
For guests who are arriving into Athens for the first time like us, Akrivi's place is relatively easy to get to and fro from the airport.
We took the metro from the airport to Syntagma metro station and changed line to arrive at Neos Kosmos Metro station (underground). From there, we walked a short distance to the Neos Kosmos Tram stop (above ground) and dropped one stop after at Baknana. Akrivi's home is just a very short walk from Baknana tram stop.
The Metro ticket purchased at the airport station is counted by time, so as long as your travels (whether by metro from the airport or within Athens and change to trams or buses etc) are within 90mins, that ticket will suffice.
