Every part of this apartment was perfect. The building it is in is well maintained. The design of the studio is refined and efficient. The balcony is breathtaking, the interior is beautiful and is the perfect size for a solo traveler like me or a couple looking for a romantic getaway. It’s located in Pagrati which is a bustling neighborhood with great bars, cafes, shops, squares, and grocery stores, but the apartment itself is on a quiet part of the street. From Pagrati, it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the Acropolis and Syntagma Square, so everything you need outside of the apartment is easily accessible by foot. But if you need to spend a day inside to get over jet lag, like I did, the apartment is so pleasant that you’ll feel no qualms about just luxuriating on the balcony taking in the beautiful view of Athens, or enjoying the AC in bed.
I also appreciated that Chryssa met me at the apartment to check me in. She had a map with all the major sites noted and explained some things about navigating Athens. Most Airbnbs have remote check in, which is what I’m most used to. But the personal touch was much appreciated.
I can’t recommend this apartment highly enough and I’ll definitely try to return to Chryssa’s apartment on my next trip to Athens!
