We stayed here for our last night in Greece before flying back home. I wish we could have stayed here longer because we really liked this apartment. It’s clean and spacious. Fully updated and renovated. It’s stylish but quirky and we felt at home. There were very nice touches like the mini bar, kitchen amenities, the homemade wine, candies, etc. You can see the Acropolis from the window, which was cool but the rest of your view is rundown apartment buildings across the street. It didn’t really bother us though. You can’t beat the location because it’s close to everything. Right outside of Monastiraki Square, you have the metro station, tons of restaurants and tons of shopping.
One thing that caught us off guard was the actual building that the apartment was in. It’s very run down with a lot of graffiti. The elevator is old and dirty, and it seems like this was the only updated apartment in the building. Everything else was vacant. As Apostolis told us, they’re starting to renovate the whole building and that definitely seemed to be true as we saw other apartments on our floor all under construction. Although the building was dirty and sketchy, the apartment was beautiful and definitely cut you off from the rest of the building.
Besides the apartment itself, Apostolis was such a great host. He communicated with us frequently and easily so we had a smooth check in. He was really nice to talk to, very helpful, and made us feel welcomed.
