Stathis's place is wonderful for the first-time Athens visitor or anyone wanting to be near all major attractions of Athens. Check-in was easy even despite Stathis being out of town. The building had an elevator so we didnt have to carry our heavy luggage up the rounded staircase. The location was everything for us as it is centrally located in ther heart of Athens- near taverns, restaurants, shopping, museums and historic sites. The apartment is open concept and very modern. We appreciated how trendy and hip it was. The apartment has a little outside lounge area off of the bedroom. It would have been a great place to enjoy some drinks and weather had it been slightly warmer. The bathroom and modern shower was a wonderful highlight. We stayed during Carnival and could hear the crowds downstairs at the bars and restaurants, but it was easy for us to drown out the sound and was never an inconvenience to us. We DEFINITELY plan to stay here again in the future.
