Before we even arrived, Roni was in touch with us about COVID, travel restrictions and also specifically how to get to the apartment from the airport on the Metro. Styliano, who was our main communicator, was in direct contact with us from the moment our plane touched down to make sure we were clear on how to get in to the neighborhood and to the apartment itself. We were early, so he let us put our suitcases in the downstairs of the apartment and we were able to check in before the usual time. Styliano spent so much extra time with us, orienting us to the city. We found a wonderful path to the Keramikos and Plaka areas of the city because of him. When we were ready to go back to the airport we were afraid we would not be able to get a taxi scheduled so Styliano made the reservation for us. Our holiday was perfect!
The apartment itself is great. It's spotless, has plenty of plates, cups and utensils in the kitchen, a washer and drying rack, and a lot of hot water. We had plenty of towels, and linens and the AC worked perfectly. The bathrooms were large enough and it was so nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. Also, there is a wrap-around balcony accessed off of each bedroom. A bonus is that there are shutters to block out light if needed and any traffic noise. The Ghazi district is hopping all night with bars and restaurants and concerts perfect for young adults. We were walking at 6 am one day and it was still lively! But, do not fear, the apartment is far enough away to be quiet but close enough if you want to enjoy that scene. Also, the metro stop is right there, about 3 blocks away from the apartment. Lots of great restaurants. We felt completely safe if that is something you are concerned about. And we are older visitors.
A real bonus is the roof top terrace that is accessed by a spiral staircase (be careful and hold on as it's narrow) off the entrance hallway of the apartment and affords a view of the Parthenon. This is dramatic in the evening! Take a glass of wine and some cheese and crackers and enjoy this wonderful space!
We would recommend Roni, Styliano and this wonderful apartment not only for the excellent hospitality of the hosts and the location and overall cleanliness, but also for the value!
