I traveled to Athens earlier this month with a group of 7. We all enjoyed staying here at the Villa. The actual apartment is accurate to what we viewed online. 3 bed rooms (approximately 2 people per room), 1 sofa bed in the living room, 2.5 bathrooms (which was awesome for this large group).

Luckily, Ireana met us while we were walking towards the apt building, so she opened the door for us. She was very helpful to us throughout the 3 days. Replied to my emails promptly. My group only has positive reviews about Ireana and this apt.

Finding the apartment was not too complicated. We used the subway/metro from the airport (1hr20m) and walked to the apt (less than 7min) from Thissio station. My group wanted to save money by not hiring 2 cabs. We probably spent about 7Euros per person. I forgot the exact amount. The apartment is in an ideal location. About 15-20min walk to the Acropolis. About 15min walk to other downtown locations, including nightlife. Tons of street vendors and restaurants that are really close by. Definitely ask Ireana and Kalli for recommendations of where to visit.

In terms of safety in the apt/neighborhood, there were no problems at all. No robbery, attacks, etc. However, since you are still a tourist, be alert regardless. Walk with group, or at least one other person. Keep your belongings in sight at all times (we learned the hard way on the metro). Nevertheless, we felt safe inside the apt and when we outside as well.

I will definitely recommend a large group of 6+ to book this apartment. If I were to come back to Athens with my friends, I will come here again. I will probably stay for a longer time (vs. 3 days) so I can actually enjoy the apartment more instead of running around the city. :-)

Thank you Ireana and Kalli!
