Traveling as a couple, we spent 8 nights in late June and early July in this apartment and we were absolutely delighted with our choice. We found it bright, elegant, and comfortable in every respect and, to top it off, conveniently located, in the center of everything.
Speaking of the location, the door of the building is not 20 meters from the entrance of a major metro station from where you can go directly to the airport, to the seaport or to practically anywhere in Athens. Within 100 meters is a well-stocked supermarket and half a dozen cafes and shops where you can buy delicious Greek pies. Psiri and Plaka are at your doorstep, for all practical purposes, and therefore so are hundreds of fabulous restaurants.
The description of the apartment is accurate in every respect and, if anything, does not do justice to how well furnished and equipped it is.
Furniture is new and clearly carefully selected; we found the sofas and the bed very comfortable. The kitchen is more than adequately stocked with more than what one could possibly need for a short stay. One example: 3 ways to make your morning coffee (a Nespresso machine, a drip coffee maker, and a French press). Another example: extension cords everywhere that accommodate US, EU and UK plugs, super convenient and super thoughtful.
Athens was hot during our stay, very hot. It was pure joy to come back to a cool apartment and we slept very well. Three split ACs very effectively guaranteed that.
Also, to help settle the “Acropolis View” issue, and with all due respect, there is no need to stand on anything to see the Acropolis; just standing anywhere near the dining table gives you a clear view, day or night, of part of Acropolis. If you sit down, you do not see it, it is hidden by the building next door. In our judgment that view is a sufficient “teaser” and a reminder that you are in Athens. You want a better view of the Acropolis? Go there. Buy a ticket and climb the hill!
But all the above is not the best. The best is Konstantinos who provided us with a spotlessly clean apartment when we arrived, answered all our questions promptly, and was accommodating to our requests. A super Super Host, Konstantinos is.
So, to sum up, this was a conveniently located, clean, elegant apartment with the space and furnishings and equipment that two people need for a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable stay.
Going to Athens and want to see the sights and eat in good restaurants within walking distance? Look no further and book this apartment. I know that we will do that the next time we go to Athens.
