We stayed in this apartment for two days. Although, I was initially skeptical about booking it, as there are no reviews by other guests, I decided to give it a try. After staying there, I do not regret my decision.
The apartment is located on the second floor of the building and it can be easily reached, as there are only a few steps to get to it (about 20 steps in total). Alternatively, there is also a quite nice old-style elevator that one can use. The apartment was fully refurbished as described, combining a neoclassical interior with modern elements. Everything was spotless and fully functional, while the rooms, beds and shower were spacious. As a frequent traveler, one of my main issues is that sometimes the beds do not allow me to have a good sleep. This was not the case with this apartment, as both the pillows and the beds were very comfortable, with the latter also being quite large. The kitchen was modern and fully equipped and it included everything one might need, ranging from utensils to a boiler and a toaster. It is also worth noting that although the apartment is located on one of the central avenues, we were not disturbed by any noise.
One thing that surprised me, is how well located this apartment is. The apartment is unexpectedly close to supermarkets and minimarkets, which can be reached within 5 minutes on foot. Its ideal location allowed us quick access to a nearby bus station, as well as an underground station, which are about 2 minutes away on foot. Through both means one can get relatively fast to the southern suburbs and enjoy the sun and the sea (we were lucky to have great weather and enjoy both) or even to the center of Athens to see the Parliament and many more sights. Moreover, the apartment is about 5 minutes away from the Acropolis museum and about 15 minutes away from Plaka, a small district where one can find graphical Greek alleys and restaurants, both on walking distance. This apartment is also close to the Acropolis, which can be reached within 15 minutes of walking and it is THE place to see. Getting to wander and walk around the most historical monuments of Greece was fascinating for us, as we enjoy walking.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the host. Ms Mania was very friendly and helpful, providing us with clear directions on how to get to the apartment and tips on things to do and places to visit nearby. She took the time to advise us, on which places would be better to visit, given that we only stayed there for three days. All in all, Ms Mania was a great host, who showed great care towards her visitors and commitment to make their stay memorable.
Thank you Ms Mania for being an impeccable host and always available for us.
