What a wonderful experience we had at Katarina’s apartment hideaway! My wife and I could not have selected a better place for our visit to Athens. The apartment was as described in Airbnb exactly and the pictures were accurate... even better in person! The bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc. were all very comfortable and spacious. This is a nicely furnished and very unique apartment in a wonderful quiet traditional Greek neighborhood. We just loved the private garden and sat there every evening with a glass of wine to relax before going to bed. The location of this apartment is only about a 5 minute walk to the nearest Metro station and about a 15 minute walk to the Plaka area, once you familiarize yourself with the neighborhood. There are a number of restaurants, bars, etc., within a few minutes from the apartment a well. Rena, (Katarina’s Mother) hosted us and was just wonderful. She was at the apartment to meet us upon arrival and took the time to show us around the apartment and clearly explained how everything worked. To our surprise, the refrigerator was filled with beverages and there food items. There was also an assortment of food prepared for us on the table as well (bread, fruit, cake, etc.). All of this was not expected, but a very nice welcoming touch. Upon arrival, it is probably best to take a taxi from the airport the first time for a flat rate of 35 Euro. After that, the metro system is very easy to use at the cost of 8 Euro to and from the airport. Our host, the neighborhood and the apartment all made our visit to Athens very special. I would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone wanting to be close to the attractions of Athens, live in comfort and be hosted by a gracious and knowledgeable host.
