I stayed in this lovely bijou apartment for a month whilst undertaking a language course in Mets. I had 4 criteria - somewhere close to the school (5 mins’ walk) but still within easy walking distance of downtown Athens (15 mins’ walk), space for friends to stay for a time (a large sofa bed) and outdoor space to sit, eat and study (a lovely courtyard). I was fortunate to find this apartment which ticked all the boxes. It is tastefully decorated throughout with artistic features and has very comfortable beds (both main and sofa bed) with good linen, very clean. Galley kitchen with enough amenities for simple everyday cooking. Bonus for me and visiting friend was having a bathroom with two entrances – one from the main bedroom and one accessible via the living room and kitchen for anyone sleeping on the sofa bed – so no-one got disturbed during the night. The courtyard was really pretty and we spent many happy hours there eating breakfast, light lunches and pre dinner drinks. The friendly resident cat Pumpkin often joined us. George and Anastasia are a lovely, very helpful couple who attend to any queries straight away and it was obvious that they get pleasure from helping their guests enjoy their stay. They gave us lots of good tips for the best places to dine where the locals go (always a good sign) and which bottled wines were good to try. One of our favourite tavernas was ‘Olympion’ on Anapafseos Street – it has a daily changing menu with good food and prices nearly half that of city centre tavernas. (Go fairly early though as you won’t get an outside table after 8pm without a long wait). Other local areas with good tavernas worth trying include Plateia Varnava and Plateia Proskopon. We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment and would certainly recommend it.
