My wonderful stay in breathtaking Athens was transformed into “home” thanks to Rena and her beautiful apartment! It was everything I had wanted- centrally located (a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis, Plaka, Syntagma Square and metro), across the street from the beautiful National Gardens, and short walking distance to grocers, restaurants and an amazing bakery.
The neighborhood squares are so quaint and give you the authentic feel of Greek life.
Athens is an easily accessed city by walking, but also has an impressive transportation system.
The apartment is beautiful and exactly as pictured- in fact, when I arrived, I stood for a moment to capture the layout and design! Each room is large and the open layout perfect. The balcony is wonderful for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The kitchen has everything I needed for my lengthy stay. It was immaculately clean.
I felt extremely safe in the apartment neighborhood and in fact, wherever I went in Athens. And as a single female traveler that’s always at the top of my list.
But what certainly made it the welcoming retreat it is, were the personal touches and care from Rena. A loaf of bread and homemade jam and fresh oranges welcomed me after my long day of traveling.
Thank you, Rena for everything you did to make your home feel like mine for my wonderful time in your stunning country.
