Kon’s apartment is beautiful and I felt so comfortable there. It is spacious and nicely furnished, with everything you could possibly want for a short or longer stay. I was there for a week and wish it had been longer. It’s very easy to get the tram (5 minutes’ walk to the Zappeio tram station, and just one stop from there to Syntagma Square), or just a short walk (around 15 minutes) to the Acropolis area and metro station. Although you do have to cross a couple of very busy roads to get there, so give yourself plenty of time if you’re trying to be anywhere at a specific time!
Kon is an excellent host who was so responsive, thoughtful, and helpful. The apartment was also beautifully clean, with a lovely balcony. It’s on a very quiet street, which is just perfect - the only noise comes from the children plying on the playground just over the way. Otherwise there is virtually no street noise, which is great for such a central location.
Great base for seeing Athens!
