Victoria met us at the apartment and explained the usual heating, keys etc. There was a very useful map provided with recommendations for restaurants, supermarkets, areas of interest, using the metro. We texted Victoria several times during our stay and she responded very quickly.

The furnishings were old but the apartment was clean, spacious and tidy. The bedding and towels were freshly laundered. The apartment is quiet and we did not find the traffic noise a problem but, being winter time, we closed the shutters and windows at night.

We stayed for 5 nights, during which we prepared one full meal. The kitchen cupboards had a musty, unpleasant odour. There were only large pots and pans; a small one or two would have been useful. There was a very low hot water pressure on the kitchen sink, which made washing dishes a pain.

We found that the mattresses in the bedrooms were too firm for our comfort. An anti-slip mat in the main shower bath would be useful, as would reducing the length of the shower curtain to avoid standing on it.

Although this may be common in Greek apartment buildings, be aware that there is no external fire escape or, as far as I could tell, smoke detection/fire alarm system.

The WiFi was good and the AB supermarket round the corner had everything we needed.
