Great apartment. Clean, nicely furnished, looks like in the pictures. The hosts were very helpful and professional, replied promptly and all.
Relatively minor reasons for giving 4 instead of 5 stars:
- There are three rooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms (third bathroom is shared) - the rooms and en suite toilets were a little cramped if two people to a room. Nothing we couldn't live with for a few days! The living area was spacious
- Some parts could do with a bit of maintenance (e.g. the kettle wasn't too clean) but nothing major
Locale:
- A residential area that's not particularly pretty - this was the nicest building on the block. Didn't really matter. Seemed safe.
- It's more in Petralona than Thissio. Not right in the heart of things but not too far either. A beat taxi to the Acropolis was €8-10, 10-30min depending on traffic. Can easily walk to the main sights too.
- Some minor road/metro noise but it was not intrusive or disruptive, and I'm a relatively light sleeper.
Highly recommend a nearby croissanterie, Ubuntu cafe, 6 cafe, and Valistas taverna where we had the best meal of our stay in Athens.
