A perfectly located apartment, easy to reach the airport and the beach by public transport (both under an hour!) and making all of Athens walkable (including all key attractions - Parthenon, Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, Agora, etc). The neighbourhood and surrounding neighbourhoods are full of cafes, restaurants, bars and a supermarket less than 5 mins away. You couldn’t ask for much better!
The apartment was clean, a good size for 2 travellers and is equipped with both heating and A/C and basic self-catering amenities if that suits you. The building has a large communal rooftop with views of the Acropolis, we enjoyed breakfast and drinks up there most days and thought it exceeded expectations!
There was someone on the desk most of the time, which was helpful but not at all intrusive, and they provided us with many recommendations, travel advice and support as needed.
There are very few drawbacks - one being that there is only one mirror in the apartment, located in the bathroom. This can be a little inconvenient if two people need to shower and get ready as it steams up easily! Also - there is no full length mirror.
As stated before, the apartment is in a brilliant location, with lively bars and restaurants around it which was great for us. The windows are well glazed and kept out most of the noise, but if you’re a light sleeper / on a lower floor, you might hear some of the fun from below at peak times.
Thanks so much - would recommend the apartment to anyone! The location, hosts and price were fantastic. We had a brilliant time and would love to come back!
