Everything about this apartment and Katerina was excellent.
Communication- Katerina was quick in answering all our queries and was helpful in ensuring our well being and safety. When we told her we will take a cab to her apartment from the airport she immediately gave us tips on how much taxi fare to expect and beware of unscrupulous taxi drivers who will overcharge. On the last day of our stay, there were protests in certain areas of Athens and Katerina was quick to send us message to warn us about areas to stay away from. Her self drawn map of the neighborhood is useful, fun and adds personalized ideas on where to explore.
Location- Could not be better. The neighborhood in which the apartment was located is safe and not too quiet. There are pubs and eating places on the same street which operates until 12 midnight and it made us feel very safe walking home late at night. Located 5 minutes away from Acropolis walking distance to most places of interest, we love it that the alleys leading from the apartment to Monastiraki square is full of charming cafes, eateries and souvenir shops and we spent many days just taking in all the sights, sound and taste of these local charm.
Interior- The apartment is very spacious (ample space will not be something that we get to enjoy in the event we book a hotel room) and sparkling clean. It was beautifully renovated and well equipped with appliances (hair dryer, washing machine and refrigerator) which looked very new. We loved how Katerina added many artistic touches to the decorations of the apartment, from quirky wall posters to handmade cups. We had a very comfortable stay at the apartment and especially enjoyed the delicious granola which were home made.
Check in and out- Katerina was there to greet us for checkin and patiently took time to walk us around the available amenities in the apartment and how to operate them. She was also extremely kind to allow us to have very flexible checkout which made our departure to the airport very convenient.
We will highly recommend Katerina's lovely apartment to anyone who is looking to have a pleasant stay in Athens.
