This apartment is an outstanding luxury hotel-quality choice for a group of 4 or more people who are looking to explore the Acropolis, Plaka, Monastiraki, museums, restaurants and cafes of Athens. I stayed for 6 nights with three other people, although the apartment could comfortably fit 3 couples, and if needed, kids could fit in the living room on the couch, etc.
The apartment: The apartment is a beautiful space, with three full bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a small half bath. The apartment is on the 5th floor, with a wide, unobstructed and spectacular view of the Temple of the Olympian Zeus from the living/dining room. Two small bedrooms have balconies with unobstructed views of the Parthenon and Acropolis. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and after our third night, Konstantinos (the host) had a cleaning service come and clean the apartment, change sheets and towels, etc. The furniture, design, and lighting is exactly as shown in the photos--that is, professionally designed and decorated with a clean, minimalist style. The bedding, sheets, toiletries, and towels were excellent, and again, luxury-hotel quality. I would compare this apartment to a Westin, Hilton or other leading Western-brand hotel in terms of furnishing/style/amenities.
The host: Konstantinos was an outstanding host from start to finish. Firstly, he remained in communication with me as soon as I booked the apartment, up until the day we arrived. I mean above and beyond; I would message him, and immediately get a response. He made a point to be present when we arrived, greeting us with a tour of the apartment, suggestions for restaurants and cafes in the area, not to mention a big fruit basket and bottle wine! Truly nice touches.
The location: The apartment is located about 4 minutes from the Acropolis metro stop. I have spent a lot of time in Athens, in many different neighborhoods and in my opinion, the location of this apartment is perfect for a first-time visitor to Athens, seeking to visit the Acropolis, stroll the narrow streets of Plaka, and use the metro for transportation. It should be noted that the apartment is on a busy street on one side, which can be a little noisy, but nothing more than average city noise. This is small cost for staying in such a central location. I would not recommend having a car with you at this location (although I did! Konstantinos even helped with that and identified several parking garages. But, as with almost anywhere in central Athens, parking is challenging, but possible)
Overall, this apartment exceeded our expectations; I highly recommend this apartment for your trip to Athens!
