Excellent value for money !

The apartment is at the second floor of the building but it has two very modern elevators, though quite small (2 persons). It looks just like in the pictures provided on the site - is very large, very comfortable for a couple, and if one wants to use the extensible sofa in the living room, 4-6 persons could easily share the apartment.

If you like to party, you have plenty of space to do it (the living is huge).

The bedroom is large and it has a huge bed that could easily accommodate 4 people.

The kitchen is equipped with everything a family might need (microwave, stove and oven, coffee machine, water kettle, dishes and cutlery, glasses, mugs), and even stocked with ingredients and food (pasta, pasta sauces, honey, jam, butter, coffee, a large variety of teas, juices etc.) - I don't know if Ioannis left them there or they were left by the previous tenants. I appreciated the Jacobs bag of coffee that was ready for the first morning (we arrived late in the night and didn't have time to go for shopping).

The WiFi is free of cost and for those who need it, Ioannis allows his tenants to use his desktop. The speed is high for most of the time. Every now and then, it gets lazy but all you need to do is restart the laptop and/or the switch to get it back to full speed.

The location cannot be better than this - is in the middle of Psirri area of Athens, full of pubs, traditional Greek restaurants, 50 meters from the Monastiraki Metro Station, within 2 minutes walk from the Monastiraki and Plaka areas, 15 minutes walk from Acropolis. It is a bit noisy at night but only if you leave the windows open - if you close them, it's as silent as a church (very well noise proofed). There is a small convenience shop 50 meters away from the apartment which is open 24/7 which makes it very easy to buy water, sodas, juices, coffee, milk, cereals and whatever else you might need.

The apartment has 4 or 5 air conditioning units and a ceiling fan in the bedroom that make it very easy to control the ambient temperature as you wish.

It's one of the few apartments (and very-very few hotels) that offer large LCD TVs (45 to 65 inches), both in the living and in the bedroom, with SATELLITE TVs (in English, French, Italian and Arabic, beside the full list of Greek channels). It takes a good 5 minutes to learn how to use the system but Ioannis is always there to help.

Maybe the most important thing about Designer's Loft is that it made us feel like home in just a few days.

Ioannis is very helpful and prompt and a very discrete host, despite the fact he lives on the same floor. Whatever we asked, we got within minutes (salt, hair dryer).
