This is a splendid apartment in the heart of Kolonaki, probably one of the best flats I've ever stayed in. To begin with, the flat is situated in one of Kolonaki's calmest streets, despite being located very centrally. You are guaranteed to have an excellent night's sleep!
It is spic-and-span clean, has an excellent (and silent) air-condition covering the whole flat - but probably the biggest highlight for us was the amazing design of the tiniest detail: plugs and switches are exactly where they should be; the water pressure makes taking a shower a real treat; there are more hangers than I have ever seen in any flat; storage space for shoes to store the stock of an entire shoe shop; an excellent washing machine; a fully equipped kitchen; cupboards to avoid clutter on surfaces - and the list goes on. This flat is all about aesthetics and tremendously efficient use of space!
When the fridge in most other flats is empty (or simply has 1 bottle of water in stock), Ioanna Maria received us with water, wine, Cokes, Greek tsipouro, ice-cubes, sparkling water, nuts, honey... She treated us as guests staying in her own house, not as paying clients in a rented accommodation, and this welcoming feeling emerges from every square inch of the apartment.
There might be many good flats around, but we have never stayed anywhere where every wish of ours had been foreseen. Next time I renovate my own apartment, I will hire Ioanna Maria's architect.
Ioanna Maria, thank you very much for having us and for making us feel so welcome!
