This nice little apartment is brilliant for a visit to Athens, on your first, second or 10th visit. It is located just off the noisy side of the center but not more than 5 minute walk from Syntagma Square on one side and Plaka on the other side. It is 7 minute walk from Monasteraki and 12 minutes from Omonia Square.
The place is spotless, with bathroom on the small side, with a good washer, excellent seating space outside and lots of storage space. All minor maintenance issues were attended quickly and the communication with Vasilis, the owner’s son who lives nearby was effective and friendly. He reaffirmed our impression of how nice the people in Greece are ❤️
The apartment was stocked with quite a few things when we arrived, including some snacks, a wine bottle, coffee cream, and all the essentials like salt, sugar, instant coffee, oil, etc. anything else you need you could get in a nearby supermarket.
Vasilis provided us great recommendations for good restaurants, less of the tourist trap kind, good cafes and all around excellent experience.
The only challenge I had, which was not the blame of this place, was finding a convenient parking nearby, as I left the car for 5 days and planned to drive a bit once or twice however the parking owners were not so excited for a relatively large car to block their limited space. Parking around can get expensive but you can find a place between 25 and 30 Euros per 24 hours. The street where the apartment is situated cannot be accessed with car but a quick stop at the beginning of the street for an offload can resolve this little challenge.
Overall - the location is a winner, the host is very nice and Athens is the perfect place to visit - what’s not to like? 😍
