Upon arrival Loukia was there to greet us, give some info about the apartment and check-out procedure and give some tips about our days in the city. A really nice touch: she has a book prepared with general info you might need as well as some tips for restaurants and attractions.
When we first saw the neighborhood we were a bit cautious, as the roads are rather filthy and not well looked after. The apartment is in a big blok full of other apartments, right across from a school. As it turned out however and as Loukia explained, this is a residential neighborhood, where the Greek residents of Athens live.
Tip: if you're searching for restaurants, it's better to go close to the neighborhood of the apartment rather than the big amount of touristic ones in the center. Have yourself surrounded by the Greeks while having dinner.
The apartment itself was really nice: airconditioning, some toiletries (soap, shampoo, slippers, toothbrushes and a really nice touch for the ladies: micellar water), a washing machine, ...
There are plenty of things available if you want to cook and even 2 ways to make coffee (with capsules and filter coffee). We always had breakfast on the lovely terrace of the apartment and slept like babies on the beautiful bed.
The apartment was sparkling clean when we arrived and had everything we might want or need for our 5-day trip. Even though we only brought the bare necessities with us we never had the feeling that we missed anything.
Another nice touch: there was a strike while we were there and Loukia informed us of it and which metro lines were running and which were not. Definitely a great host and a beautiful apartment!
If we're returning to Athens, we'll definitely be back.
