The apartment is wonderful and situated in a shady, quiet street so the apartment stays cool during the day. We travelled in October so we didn’t need the air con. Close to a main road into Athens and on the metro line from the airport, connections are very easy. It’s only 2 stops to the main square or a 20 minute walk. The apartment is very close to Kolonakiou, which has lots of places to eat out and local shops. Eleni and Athina provided great recommendations for places to eat locally and we were not disappointed. Our hosts responded very quickly to all random questions and provided helpful advice. We were a group of 5 adults and the apartment provided plenty of space, although the balcony is internal so we didn’t use it. The only minor consideration would be for large groups all wanting to shower and leave early. The water heats up in 20 minutes and provides enough hot water for about 3 showers. Then needs to be reheated for 20 minutes. We managed this around leisurely breakfasts and it didn’t cause us any problems. I would highly recommend the apartment as a perfect base to explore Athens.
