Lovely apartment close to historic sites
We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay in this lovely apartment.
Everyone we dealt with was very friendly and accommodating, making sure that we are comfortable and have everything we need in the apartment. The owners of the apartment, Sophia and Tony, gave us a ton of tips on must-see sights, cozy bars and close-by towns to visit.
The apartment leaves nothing to be desired. It is equipped with all sorts of appliances and household items such as a washing machine, an iron, a hairdryer etc. which we thought was highly convenient.
One thing we'd like to mention, though, is that the apartment is not wheelchair-accessible and might also pose some problems to very tall people. The apartment is on the first floor (2nd floor for you Americans out there!) and there is no elevator. The bathroom is rather narrow with a low ceiling and a rather small shower. This was not an issue for us, but someone who's taller than us or dependent on any kind of mobility aid would probably have serious problems using the bathroom/shower.
The area surrounding the apartment is not exactly pretty (busy roads, abandoned shops, apartment blocks), but its close proximity to some of Athens' most iconic historic sites more than makes up for it. Two Metro stations (Aghios Ioannis, Neos Kosmos) are within walking distance. From Aghios Ioannis it is only three Metro stops to the Acropolis area. From Neos Kosmos you can take the tram that runs along the Athens Riviera.
There are various supermarkets, kiosks, bars, restaurants and a post office close to the apartment, which was a plus for us, too. I should also mention that we felt quite safe in the area, so while it is by no means picturesque, it is a convenient area to stay in if you want to get around town quickly and easily but don't want to be in the very busy center of the city 24/7. We loved coming back to the apartment after a busy day in the city to cook our own dinner, have a glass of wine on the balcony or simply escape the August heat.
We'd definitely stay here again.
