Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Athens! When dropping us off from the airport the taxi driver advised us Metaxourgeio was not a good area to stay in but we absolutely loved it and felt safe. What is more, having done the hop-on-hop-off tour of Athens and walked around a lot there was nowhere else we saw that we would have rather stayed. The area is unrivalled for proximity to all main sights and allowed us to make the most of tourist Athens as well as the local restaurants etc
The terrace in the apartment has an awning that rolls back to let you have the sun all day if you are a sun worshipper or would like to have your breakfast/meals out there. The sun rises on this side in the morning so you are blessed with sun all morning/afternoon and a stunning view of Lycabettus hill (which is really well worth visiting as well)
Anna was a superb host and even let us stay a little longer on our last day as our flight was a little bit later and we enjoyed the sunshine 😄
