We are honoured to introduce our latest and 5th apartment (2023), especially designed to offer comfort as well as accessibility, so much needed in Athenian short-term rentals, for leisure or business trips.
The apartment:
We are happy to inform prospective guests that the apartment fully complies with accessibility standards, served by an elevator and accessed from the street without stairs.
It was carefully designed to offer convenience and comfort to any traveler with or without disability needs. It offers a spacious bedroom and convenient closet, a fully accessible bathroom, a living space with sofa bed, a second full bathroom and kitchen bench. A cute little green rooftop planted with care embraces one's relaxing time in the bedroom.
The building:
Note - The building's entrance and elevator doors are wide enough for wheelchairs but not automatic. Travelers with mobility needs may need to be accompanied just for these two doors. We are pleased to have our office located at the ground floor next to the building entrance to offer assistance, tips and ideas to any visitor.
More about our effort:
Unlike most of the newest constructions in Athens, we have invested in renewable resources for the entire building : Geothermal energy, recently replaced by heat pumps and solar energy. Our aim is to guarantee an absolute heating and cooling effect with full autonomy per apartment, through an under-floor system (for long-term stays) and fan coils in every room for full autonomy per bedroom, plus hot running water at all hours, and the heating of the swimming pool at the building's rooftop (exclusively offered to guests of the A.U.R.A. Penthouse).
Visitors’ comments for all A.U.R.A. properties primarily focus on three major advantages: Quality accommodation, ideal location and a hospitable host/owner, supported by an admirable team.
A few phrases from multiple reviews partly explain it.
“The location was fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for more from the accommodation…”
“Marianne was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The apartment was quiet and had everything we needed, plus it was within walking distance of everything. We will definitely be coming back.”
“It was very convenient that each room could have separate beds for good rest and that each room had its own bathroom. Pleasant for privacy and a big time-saver! The location is superb. It is located in a quiet pedestrian street with some nice (wine) bars and restaurants just across from the apartment, where we went every evening.”
“Marianne made our stay effortless and memorable. I have not found better hospitality anywhere. I highly recommend Marianne and this apartment if you are planning to visit Athens.”
