What a great place to spend a week in Athens. Views, central location, comfort, amenities, great host-this place has everything we wanted. Views of the acropolis from the kitchen and Hadrian’s Arch from the living and dining with the arch across the street as well as the Zeus’s temple, and the National Gardens plus the Acropolis just blocks away. Sitting on the sofa we could see the arch, remains of Zeus’s Temple, and the Acropolis. Great restaurants and shops in the neighborhood and felt very safe. Yes there are tourists and tourist shops but the shops are nice and don’t take away from the charming old neighborhood with beautiful homes and this is the way in any major city with some of the worlds best sites to see. It is updated beautifully, well done and very contemporary (but not cold modern) so spacious and very comfortable beds, great closet space, well appointed kitchen, and super clean. The host was always super responsive and helpful including when our morning ferry was cancelled the morning we were to check out.The street it is on, facing Hadrian’s Arch, is a curved busy thoroughfare but didn’t bother us at all. We enjoyed watching the Athenians commuting and tourists walking around, and it just added to the energy and enthusiasm of being in Athens. There was very little honking or “noise”, and was more just hum. This apartment is contemporary, spacious, well appointed, comfortable, very well located, and with a great host. We will stay here again.
