My husband and I stayed here at this beautiful apartment! All in all, we would definitely recommend to others who are staying in Athens - as long as you do not have any physical ailments! We decided to take the train from the airport to the apartment building, but quickly regretted not booking the shuttle service! I know it is double the price to use the service (40 Euro) rather than using the train (10 Euro per person), but if you can budget for the service, it is well worth it! The apartment building is located equidistant of two train stations. We arrived at Syntagma Square train station and took the elevator up to the square, but found out you then have to carry your luggage up a couple dozen steps (which are packed with people eating, chatting, and enjoying the lit-up fountain). We chose to save the money, not knowing how steep the roads are and how they are all cobblestone! It was literally a battle! Even with the cool night temperatures, we were dripping in sweat and taking frequent breaks walking the many blocks until arriving at the building. We were very thankful for the ability to self check-in using the key lock box; however, noted we never received the lock box code (either by the promised email method, or within the AirBNB messages). After waiting outside for a few minutes, we were finally able to find a passerby who allowed us to use their cell phone to call Maria for the code. There are some others who passed by, but probably hesitant since it was 9 p.m. and all women with children or teenagers. Nevertheless, Maria answered quickly and was able to help! We entered the lobby and took the elevator up to the 5th floor - as the elevator only goes to the 5th floor, and you then have to take your luggage up a winding flight of stairs to the penthouse/6th floor. Unfortunately, the light right outside the apartment door was burnt out, so we simply used the flashlight on our phone as it was dark to make our way up the narrow stairwell with our luggage and to unlock the door (note: I suggested replacing it as I missed a step walking to dinner one night and nearly fell down the flight of stairs). The apartment is beautiful - small, but perfectly setup and the view from the balcony is absolutely stunning (as shown in their pictures). The balcony has an electric canopy which is great during the day to have some shade, otherwise, you can layout in the sun on the side. And if you want to sleep in or take a nap during the day, they have an electric shade screen which covers the sliding balcony doors! The weather was perfect on the balcony at night so we were able to enjoy some of the wine and snacks they so thoughtfully left for us! We even enjoyed the balcony during the mornings...
