I enjoyed a month-long stay at Eleanna’s place and I wish I could have stayed longer! Just a couple weeks in, and it already was feeling like home. Eleanna’s place sparkles, it’s fresh scent and cool air conditioning will welcome you home from all your adventures.
Really tasteful and minimalistic approach to furnishings/design made this place really easy to keep clean and organized - and I have to shout out that I think all the art was made by Eleanna herself! I especially loved the selection of hooks on the walls to hang my bags & hats and such. The kitchen space was well equipped with the basics you need, and was just right for me to make my daily omelettes - though being honest I didn’t do too much cooking outside of that. Washing machine was great with a hanging rack on the balcony to dry my clothes in the warm Greek sun. I was working remotely, and the internet connection was perfect for my needs. Eleanna is quick to respond to any questions. The pictures really do this space justice, so if you like the look of it please know they are accurate!
I fell in love with the neighbourhood- There’s a small cafe just outside the door, and another just a few feet away from the building. Just down Leof. Alexandras there is a bigger grocery store, as I found the close-by one that was open late didn’t have the selection I was looking for. If you’re looking for a workout, group classes at Body Challenge Neapali are fantastic and a 15 minute walk away. The apartment seemed remote on my first day (about a 30 minute walk from Syntagma square), but once I got used to the Metro everything got much closer - Victoria station is about an 11-minute walk away and you’ll want to get familiar with it.
The apartment is on the 5th floor, and the elevator works great but is of course European size and style. Residents are friendly, and it won’t take long for the guys downstairs to remember your coffee order. Book it!
