Stop looking. You’ve found your apartment. We have just spent the most amazing 10 days living right in amongst the fantastic atmosphere of Athens in a totally funky part of town.
The apartment is beautiful. There are 3 generous bedrooms with high ceilings and excellent air conditioning for summer.
The main living space is spectacular. The view of the 1000 year old Byzantium church each day never grows old. The air conditioning was excellent after a scorching day trekking the ruins.
Each evening we sat on the rooftop terrace catching the sunset whilst enjoying a view of the Acropolis and a panoramic view of Athens. This was a special part of our trip.
Our party of 4 ranged in age from 16 to 74 years. There was ample room for everyone. The laundry made it easy for us to keep organised.
Our host, Sandy, met us at the train station. It was incredibly easy for us to travel from the airport on a direct line. Sandy showed us around our local area spending an hour with us. She pointed out supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, tavernas and her favourite hangouts. She gave us fantastic advice that made our trip run smoothly. Everywhere she recommended was excellent. The residential area around the apartment is vibrant. Cafes and music and fun. As Sandy told us, this is the place that the locals love to come to relax. Sandy is brilliant.
We walked everywhere. There was no need to catch the subway. A walk around the base of the Acropolis could be achieved in an hour. We were a few hundred metres away from all ‘hop on hop off’ bus services, the Athens flea market and the food markets. I’m not sure if you actually find a better location.
Thank you, Sandy. We have LOVED our visit to Athens.
