  An excellent, well equipped and comfortable apartment within walking distance of the centre of Athens. Minutes from a handy Metro station on the line to the airport which couldn’t be handier. Safe neighbourhood close to the Hilton Hotel and just around the corner from what must be one of the best restaurants in Athens. Slept well in comfortable beds. The apartment is generally very quiet and the newly installed double glazing kept the morning rush hour traffic noise to a minimum. Kitchen is well equipped and there is a good supermarket and other food shops (including a good wine shop!) all within easy walking distance. A real home from home close to the centre of Athens which we simply could not fault – when next in Athens we will look to stay here!

  The apartment was fantastically beautiful. A large, lovely terrace where we stayed much. Located at the top with the most beautiful views of the acropolis. Can highly recommend a stay in this beautiful apartment.

  We spent a week in Athens prior to Easter 2011. What a truly wonderful experience to have stayed in this apartment with my husband and eleven year old son. The location couldn't have been more ideal and the weekly metro pass made travel around the city easy and convenient. The photographs don't do justice to the loveliness and comfort of the apartment. The upper level garden terrace is exquisite and the neighborhood was quiet yet lively enough for suburbanites to get a real taste of city living. This was truly all the comforts a home could provide. Thank you

  June 26, 2010 This is an absolutely, gorgeous apartment and we really loved to stay here. We celebrated some great moments in our lives here at it’s lovely roof garden! Everything worked out just as we expected. Hopefully we can stay here next time we visit Athens! H.& M. & M. & E. Finland-Sweden

  Unlike sterile hotel rooms I’ve stayed in around the world, this place has a distinct personality. The art, the lamps, the details, all add up to a unique setting that reflects the owner’s personality. Our family has had a wonderful stay here. The location is ideal, being close to the metro. We were able to go adventuring daily and return to the quiet sanctuary of the apartment at the end of a long day. Our only disappointment was that the roof garden was “closed for winter” as it would have made an ideal spot for watching the full moon and partial lunar eclipse on New Year’s Eve. We will definitely recommend this place to any of our friends who plan a visit to Athens in the future. The free wifi was fabulous! The place had distinct personality and it smelled good too!

  October 6th, 2010 So glad we decided to stay in this apartment. You were truly a gracious host. Your warm welcome upon our arrival and assistance with our questions about Athens was much appreciated. Thanks for all the tips on having a great time in Athens. We loved the restaurant down the block, Vlassis… so much so that we ate there again and again. Also thanks for letting us use your computer, printer and the internet. The four of us had a very relaxing time here and really enjoyed the terrace and the convenience of all the markets and cafes in the neighborhood. Taking the metro was also easy, being only one block away. The apartment was quiet and comfortable - - a soothing haven after a busy day sightseeing.

  We leave tomorrow after two wonderful weeks in the islands and 5 days in Athens. It took some adjusting to the busyness of the city, but this lovely apartment made the transition easier. Such a pleasant spot! Loved our time in Athens - those who said we only needed to spend a day or so were wrong. More time allowed us to really know the city and love it.

  Dear Galatea Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality. For all the reasons identified in this book we have had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in your apartment. Unfortunately, our stay was cut short so we could not settle in as much as we would have wanted.-something this apartment is perfect for. In addition to all the compliments others have made about the warm and helpful welcome, the pastries and wine, the directions and suggestions, the delightful décor and attention to detail, we would like to add that the bed is very comfortable both in terms of support and linen (often not the case in even decent hotels), and that the apartment is fantastically quiet. As a couple travelling with an infant with jet-lag that has been a god-send. Also, the fact that you have the necessities covered in the kitchen and bathroom (e.g. olive oil, soap, plates, pots and pans etc) was really nice for our short stay. The light in this apartment is also great, your plants divine. I am having a hard time finding things to suggest to make people’s stay better! Maybe, an inexpensive CD player? Really it is the PERFECT, warm, safe, central, little apartment that truly is a home away from home. Best of luck to you in your further travels. Lots of love and a very happy new year.

  My husband and I felt so at home in this beautiful apartment. We arrived and Galatea immediately welcomed us and even directed us to her personal dentist as my husband had a toothache. She and the apartment were very gracious. The rooftop garden is lovely night and day. It truly is an in-town oasis. The surrounding neighborhood is full of wonderful cafes and friendly people. It is easy to walk to the Metro station and from there get anywhere within Athens including Piraeus and the train station. I would highly recommend this comfortable and well-appointed apartment to any travelers wanting to experience Athens from the perspective of a resident.
