We really put Vassilis and Roula’s apartment to the test! There were 5 of us (2 adults and 3 teenagers) living here for one month. It was fantastic. The apartment was an easy train ride from the airport and Vassilis was there waiting for us when we arrived. He gave us a run down on the facilities and then took my husband and oldest son on a tour of the area. The apartment is as it looks in the photos, the kitchen is well equipped with a fridge big enough to stock plenty of food for 5 people, the wifi was excellent (a necessity for teenagers!). Vassilis noted hot water limitations, it would be fine for 2-3 people and we managed by simply staggering our showers so no problems. The washing machine worked well and given it was winter our clothes dried fairly quickly on the portable line inside overnight. Kolonaki is in a gorgeous part of Athens, it’s close to many things and an easy walk into the centre of Athens or, if you prefer, the metro at the end of the road will get you there faster. We always felt safe walking the streets of Kolonaki and thoroughly enjoyed everything the neighbourhood had to offer during the day and at night. The apartment is close to many bakeries, restaurants and supermarkets, so finding food at any hour was not a problem. However it is really worth going to the markets in the street below the apartment on a Friday morning to buy all your fresh fruit and veg and other delicious things for the week. Yes the delivery trucks for the supermarket across the road make a bit of noise early in the morning but you get used to it and then don’t notice it. We had the best month of our lives in Athens and part of that was due to how comfortable and at home we felt in Vassilis and Roula’s apartment.
