I am very sorry to report that if the President of Greece were to invite me to stay at the Presidential Palace in Athens, I would have to politely decline, saying that I would instead prefer to stay at Alexia & Efstathia’s apartment!
From the initial booking until our checkout, Alexia could not have been a better host. Her communications made for a completely stress free visit. Travelling with five people (including my 98-year-old mother) made this the perfect place to stay. The amenities are first rate, and the views of the Acropolis, Lycabettus, and Filopappou are much, much closer than depicted on the listing. Truly amazing! There are no exaggerations in the listings whatsoever.
A very, very minor problem was immediately remedied within two hours (a shout out to Marialena!)
I cannot compliment Alexia enough for her hospitality (thank you for introducing me to my new favorite brand of Greek beer!), whimsical sense of interior décor, and genuine compassion for my family and friends during our stay.
With apologies to President Sakellaropoulou, all my future visits to Athens will only take place if Alexia & Efstathia’s apartment is available!
