Sissi’s flat is very well appointed and well located, at the heart of Athens’ Kolonaki area, a nice upmarket residential neighbourhood with plenty of amenities, good shopping and many good restaurants. The flat is situated in a quiet block of flats serviced by a lift.
It is clear from first entering the premises that Sissi and Galinos have gone to great lengths to turn what I imagine was an oldish, rather tired looking place into a modern hi-tech high quality and very well appointed (and spotless!) apartment, which will undoubtedly serve most people’s expectations and needs.
As well as making sure that all practical and functional areas of the fat were working perfectly, Sissi has gone to great lengths to provide finishing touches to turn the place into an even more pleasant environment.
I had specifically sought a place in a quiet street (a bit rare for Athens) and was pleasantly surprised to find that the street was okay as regards traffic noise. Just about.. However, once you close the double-glazed balcony windows, the noise from the street drops dramatically and you can rest assured that your sleep will be undisturbed :)
I did not meet Sissi (only met Galinos briefly) but I did have the express feeling that their attention was focused entirely on catering towards their hosts’ needs at any given time and delivering a high quality experience for them and so ensuring that their stay would be a memorable one. And at least in my case, they have achieved that in spades!
I would recommend the listing unreservedly and am already looking forward to repeating my booking!
Peace
