The apartment could hardly be better located. One block away from the busier streets of Veikou insulates one from the noise of the street while providing nearly instant access to restaurants to the south and filopappou hill to the north. We stayed for two months, and I would often walk over filopappou hill on to commute to work. It’s only ten minutes from the Acropolis museum as well, though the 7 minute walk to the metro might be a deterrent for some. Restaurants nearby were excellent. Slightly outside of the extremely touristy center, though indisputably still within the radius of wandering tourists - prices about 80% that of the center and 125% more than the truly residential suburbs. Highlights for us were Yubaba (cheese rolls) and O Lolos.
The apartment was very well appointed. Four electrical burners, and enough daily supplies (toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc.) to last our entire stay. Annie also kindly provided a wok and chef’s knife upon request. Communication was excellent and fast (though we do have the possible cultural advantage of speaking Chinese).
There is no proper view from the apartment, and it can be quite dark inside. This was perfect for us but could be non ideal for short stays. The laundry is quite loud and slow (especially as compared to US machines, though similar to European ones), and occasionally the neighbors upstairs start their similarly loud machines late at night. The apartment is spacious, though this means the wifi does not quite reach the master bedroom.
Finally, a particular highlight for us was the lovely singing of children in the evenings from a school nearby. We recommend Annie’s apartment heartily, and look forward to returning sometime in the future.
