We highly recommend basing yourself at Yorgos’ apartment for a trip to Athens. The terrace is just amazing with the most beautiful sunset views. The apartment was spotless and had everything you can need whether its wanting to cook at home or have a coffee in the morning and go. The air conditioning was a god send with the 35 degree days we were having. The apartment is located in a quiet local neighbourhood. On Wednesday we found a bustling local fruit, vegetable and fish market two blocks north which was fantastic, there is also a supermarket this direction. Otherwise the neighbourhood south/east was just amazing - filled with little bars and restaurants - we ate the best and most affordable we have in years here. We took the subway from the airport which was very straight forward and later to Pireaus to head to the islands. We enjoyed the location (perfect for exploring by foot and subway), the apartment (newly renovated, clean, nespresso machine, washing machine with a 15min cycle!!, netflix, spectacular terrace) and value (55e a night) very much, everything was perfect and we definitely hope to visit again. Thank you Yorgos!
