Petralona is a great neighbourhood that feels up and coming without being pretentious, so much more local than Monastiraki, the restaurants are much better and I’d highly recommend The Blue Bamboo Thai below the apartment and also Aster just around the corner. The bar opposite is very popular and does great Margaritas with a hint of ginger, lime and curry (great pick me up). The apartment was more spacious than expected, a decent area for working, the bed is huge and extremely comfortable as too is the sofa bed which we used also. The kitchen is very functional and we were grateful for the bread, lurpak butter & jam after consuming a few too many margaritas the night before. The shower is slim but powerful and besides the obvious traffic, we found the actual apartment fairly quiet since the other apartments are being used for Pilates. The metro is 5-8 mins walk I’d say, and there’s lots of cafés, bakeries and the odd boutique along the way. Love it!, highly recommend.
