Check-in started with Kostas meeting us early at the apartment so we could drop our bags off. Then he suggested a place around the corner where we could eat while they finished cleaning.
The apartment itself was perfect for what we needed for our family of four (2 adults/2 kids under 8), but has much more of a homey feel and less ritz and glamour. There is plenty of space to spread out and allow the kids to play. The two outdoor spaces, one with a large, shaded table for outdoor dining in cooler weather, are great for families.
We were hoping to get away from the city noise in this quieter neighborhood, but there were still some barking dogs and noisy cats on occasion at night (obviously to no fault of the property owner). The windows have internal shades and external automatic shades that offered a bit of a buffer to light and sound. It was also great to have access to the parking spot in the garage under the building too.
Overall, we were very happy with our choice to stay here and all the great little restaurants within walking distance, especially Salute Bistro.
