Our family of five, including two young children (3yrs and 1.5yrs) stayed in George and Marina’s wonderful apartment for 5nights. We could not fault it- everything is as described and in the perfect location to explore Athens on foot. We walked everywhere (with our young children!) The roof-top has limited access times but Marina was very accommodating to open it for us and it is well worth it, the most incredible view of Athens with the majestic Acropolis taking centre stage!
The apartment is stylishly decorated and has everything you need. We cooked a few meals at home to save on costs and were able to do regular laundry washes. The apartment has a lift, even though it is only located on the 2nd floor, and the other residents we met were very friendly.
The neighbourhood is a lovely, clean and hip area of Athens. You are surrounded by quaint eateries, a deli and bakery as well as some great small bars that are frequented by local young folk. Up the road is the tourist strip by the Acropolis, and the Plaka is a short stroll beyond. We walked from the Cable Car stop of Mount Lycabettus in Kolonaki down past the Children’s Museum to the Zappeion Park where we had lunch, then strolled passed Syntagma Square and back to the apartment (all with a 3yr old walking) and it was very achievable.
Thank you Marina and George- we will be back!
