Esmeralda's flat is a big sparkling gem in one of the most mellow and most fun neighborhoods of Athens! The place is really huge for an Athenian apartment, with an epic sprawling living room/office and two well-appointed bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The massive wrap-around veranda on its own is bigger than most apartments I've ever lived in, and has wonderful views of Lykavittos hill and the Pangrati neighborhood. The apartment has really everything you'd ever want or need: FAST reliable wifi, a nice washing machine, a perfectly appointed and well-organized kitchen, several large nice flat-screen tvs for entertainment or work, and comfortable stylish furnishings of all sorts. If you are sick of boring IKEA-strewn rental apartments, this place is your antidote: it's actually a legitimate Athenian home owned by locals of style and sophistication, so you should look no further if you want to enjoy a proper Greek experience in the big city. Speaking of the experience, this apartment is really in the best location: close to great supermarkets, bakeries and greengrocers for stocking up at home, but also steps from many of the best restaurants, bars, and cafes in the whole city, while also being removed from the normal tourist areas. Esmeralda was a great host, too! Great and fast communication, made sure we had everything we needed, and check-in/out was a breeze. Highly recommend this apartment if you are lucky enough to find it available!
