Roland and Ta's place is just as attractive as it appears to be in their online photos. It's a lovely apartment, well appointed, and incredibly well-located for exploring Athens on foot. The two bedrooms and two baths were also ideally set up to accommodate our family of four: We parents shared the master bedroom with double bed and en suite bath; and our daughters shared the smaller second bedroom, which has two single beds next to a second bath that opens into the main living space. Roland and Ta were also excellent, timely communicators and even offered, unsolicited, to arrange airport transport for us at the start and conclusion of our stay. We didn't avail ourselves of this service on arrival (as we were coming from the airport, where there are plenty of cabs available), but we did on our way out, when it would have been more challenging to drag our suitcases to a major thoroughfare to get a taxi. Roland and Ta arranged a large van that came to the door and cost only a few euros more than a standard taxi.
A few other details of features that were helpful for us:
- The apartment is on an upper floor, but there is a small lift in the building--no need to drag suitcases up stairs by hand.
- The kitchen has everything you might need to do some simple cooking or to enjoy a takeout meal in the apartment.
- There is one hairdryer in the master bathroom.
- The apartment is literally steps away from a huge range of restaurants, starting with Mamacita (Mexican) and Noodle Bar (pan-Asian) right downstairs, just outside the building door.
- The apartment is minutes' walk from the Acropolis and from Parliament and the National Garden.
Great spot to stay in Athens!
