I had the opportunity to stay in this apartment after having been amazed by another of Yannis and Tax’s properties and deciding to extend my stay. This apartment is great and to be honest I’m almost hesitant to give it the stellar review it deserves because I want to keep the spot available for my future trips to Athens!
Since the place has been very newly remodelled, everything is brand new, modern and clean. The decor is beautiful and the furniture very comfortable. The floor to ceiling windows in the main living area offer great city views day and night. The outdoor space is perfect for relaxing with the heated plunge pool (kept optimally warm and clean by Tax), I will definitely miss it. Aside from this, the apartment is well stocked, comes with the amount of towels you want (both bath and pool towels) and has plenty of hot water (not a given in Athens).
The location is hard to beat as you are right downtown. The Acropolis museum and Acropolis “walk” are 5 mins away. From there, it takes an easy 10-15 mins to walk to Plaka and Syntagma (I would recommend taking the much more beautiful Acropolis walk to get there instead of the road that Google maps usually suggests that follows the highway). There are plenty of shops in the area as well as restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, etc.
Yannis and Tax organized a very nice transfer for me from the airport and made sure that the check in and out processes went smoothly. They remained available, helpful and friendly throughout my stay and made sure that I had everything needed. Overall I consider my experience to have been positive on every level and I’m looking forward to going back!
