Athina was kind enough to let us check in early because our flight arrived in the morning. This was very much appreciated. The flat was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. The washing machine was useful. We did have one specific problem: noise from the communal central heating system. It was so loud that on the evening of the day we arrived, I got in touch with Athina because it sounded as if there was a problem that needed repair. After an awkward discussion, it turned out the noise is normal. Obviously, in summer this won’t be a problem and the heating wasn’t on all day. Nonetheless, we needed earplugs or noise cancelling headphones to block it out at times. This was a real shame as the flat has a lot going for it and, the location, just below Lycabettus Hill, is great if you like to sit on a hillside and stare into the distance while still being in the city.
