Our family (2 adults and 4 children aged 16, 10, 8 & 7) stayed in this large apartment for a week for our stay in Athens.
- Good communication with host
- Large apartment with plenty of bedrooms (x5) and bathrooms. Even the sofa can convert to a bed and there are 2 extra pull out beds
- Lots of storage for clothes during your stay
- Plenty of towels for each guest
- About 5 minutes walk from Viktoria Metro Station which has a direct line to port at Piraeus
- Washing machine to use during stay
- Close to lots of small food shops (open daily) and a larger supermarket (not open on a Sunday)
- Lift so that you don’t need to carry heavy suitcases/bags up the stairs
- TVs with Netflix and AirCon in all bedrooms
- Great WiFi
- Playstation room
- Within walking distance (5 minutes) to the National Archeological Museum and Hellenic Motor Museum. About 35 minute walk to the major sites
- Victoria booked us airport transfers in a minivan due to there being 6 of us at a cost of €80 (an approved taxi for 4 people is approx €30-40). The driver was on time and polite. Definitely worth considering if you are in a big party travelling together.
Things to consider before booking:
- Even though the apartment is on the first floor there is quite a lot of traffic noise from the road outside until late at night
- Some of the beds have very firm mattresses
- The apartment is in an area that is a little run down. It is about a 25 walk to Syntagma Square which is considered to be the city centre
- Athens taxi’s can take a maximum of 4 passengers. If there are more guests you will need to take a second taxi. It cost between €4-7 (per taxi) to get back to the apartment from the Thissio Metro Station area
