When we arrived at the apartment, candles were aglow and Christmas lights twinkled. We were welcomed by Artemis’s charming, non English speaking mother who eloquently pantomimed the ins and the outs of the apartment…how the dishwasher and washing machine work, toilet paper goes in the trash can and not in the toilet, please water the many plants lock turn the lock 4 times, etc… Cookies and wines were on the table for us. It was a charming and generous welcome
We came in winter, but there is a large, pleasant roof terrace with plants and chaises longues that must be delightful in the warmer months.
Artemis’ is a handsome and interesting apartment with a basket of loose pages of information and articles about Athens, a 2002 Fodor's, a map of the neighborhood, board games and shelves of books (novels, botany, travel, history) that guests are invited to read and return to their numbered places
It’s about a 20-25 minute walk to Syntagma Square and the metro is an easy few blocks away
We were very happy in this apartment. It’s comfortable with lots of windows and Artemis has taken the time to find articles and books that were helpful to us as first time visitors to Athens. We appreciated these materials as well as her booking a taxi for us from the airport and recommending places to go for New Year’s Eve. And, of course, her mother is just charming! We would happily return.
