My stay at Athens Colour Cube was perfect. The location is outstanding. From the street outside, you can see the Acropolis; you can even see it from the window of the Aqua room that I stayed in.
Alexandra is beautiful, welcoming and energetic. She is attentive and extremely prompt in responding to queries and was very accommodating. The room itself is accurately represented in the photos provided. It was clean, comfortable and a pleasure to come back to at the end of long days walking around Athens. The shower is a definite highlight, as is the well-thought-out lighting in the apartment.
There was a minor earthquake during my stay. Alexandra came directly to the apartments to check on myself and the other guests. During one of my enjoyable chats with Alexandra, she was kind enough to show me some of the other rooms. They were all equally well-appointed, and I'd have been satisfied to stay in any of them. I must say, however, the view from the Aqua room was the best of the lot.
Security at the apartments is second to none. A keypad at the unassuming front door, on level 4, a keypad separates the door to the apartment from the main part of the floor. Then finally, a keypad lets you into the room. Alexandra's trusted cleaner was lovely. I felt absolutely comfortable letting her come to the room in my absence. Call me foolhardy but I felt no need to use the safe - after her visits to the room, all of my belongings were exactly where I left them. I travel with professional photography equipment and a MacBook. At no point did I have concerns about leaving these items unattended in my room.
Outside, there are plenty of restaurants. The best by far was the Πάμε τσίπουρο πάμε καφενείο ("Let's go to the tsipouro go cafeteria" - Address: Aiolou 31, Athina 105 51). You get an unobstructed view of the acropolis. The food will likely exceed expectations of home-style Greek. All of the staff are legends. I was treated like family from my first night there and it kept me coming back each night, even for a tsipouro and a chat with Yiannis.
I feel very fortunate to have come across Alexandra's apartments, and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stay in Athens. I cannot wait to return.
Καλό ταξίδι!
