This apartment was the perfect place for us to explore Athens! It is in a quiet area with not many people passing it, but it is in close proximity to a lively square with lots of amazing restaurants (many of which with rooftop seating and a view of the Acropolis). There are shops nearby to stock up the well-equipped kitchen, although there are so many amazing restaurants nearby that you may not need to!
The apartment itself is very spacious, with good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and even two balconies! Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the instructions we were given made it easy to get into the building/room, even though we arrived quite late. We would recommend using the transfer service Esmeralda arranged for a seamless ride to and from the airport for a reasonable price.
The only issue we had was the door seemed to not lock properly on one of the days, but it was fixed promptly. We felt safe in the area anyway (only those staying in the apartment block would have had access) so it wasn’t a big problem.
Aside from the apartment itself, the gym and playground in the basement were a nice touch even if we didn’t use them ourselves. There is also a printer here in case you need to print any important documents, as well as locker cages to store any luggage - a necessity for those with a later flight!
Overall, we would highly recommend the Hercules residence as a base for a trip to Athens, whether you’re there for a couple days or a couple weeks. No matter how long you’re staying, it will be easy for you to discover the beauty that Athens has :)
