Found this apartment to have everything you need for your Athens stay. The apartment is located close to the metro and the local restaurants. The wifi is very fast and the owner will provide you will a wealth of knowledge so you can plan your trip properly. We really enjoyed meeting Terry, the local agent who assisted the owner. He was very helpful and took time to show us around and provide us valuable insight into the neighborhood and Greece in general. Thanks again Terry.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

Spacious, spotless, everything you need to settle in My husband and I spent 5 nights in this lovely apartment, with our 2 adult children. The apartment was just right for our family. Everything was comfy, and in perfect condition. The kitchen was fully equipped so we were able to cook some of our dinners there. There is a small grocer few meters away of the apartment as well as a couple of small markets that are about a 10-minute walk. Metros and the archeological sites are also close by (a 4 Metro stop, around a 7 minute ride). We really liked the warm welcome from Terry, our agent, and the introductory walk around the neighborhood that he took us on. He was also very professional and prompt in dealing with a minor plumbing problem we had. The neighborhood is quite lively with numerous restaurants and coffee houses, for an afternnon break after sightseeing all day. After a rest, we ate in the neighborhood local restaurants, before our adventures again into town. The owner, Maria, also arranged our taxi rides to and from the airport, and that also went perfectly smoothly. We had a wonderful vacation. This was the best apartment in Europe, as we visited 3 other countries. Terry, made us feel like part of his family, thank you for a wonderful stay.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Your words were very kind. We enjoy showing our tourists Greece, and the Greek hospitality. By staying in our apartment, you enjoy the Local taste of the Greek life. Our neighborhood is friendly, and you mingle into the local Greek lifestyle.

I want to thank my hosts for the perfect vacation we had. They were VERY HOSPITABLE. Always there when we needed help (when we locked ourselves out)! Our agent even took us to the beach one day. The beach is not that far, and wonderful to cool off. The locarion is IDEAL. Near the Metro, near the Antiquities, Near restaurants, groceries, coffee shops. I will tell my co-professors about this friendly, convenient apartment for thdir vacation. The owners and agent make you feel like family, and treat you like family. Thank you again!!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

We had excellent service from the owner, and our agent was superb. Apartment large, bigger than we expected, was really nice, clean, and neat. There was everything that was promised and even more. Location was also good; near the metro station, tram stop and bus stop. Area and the building was safe. Apartment is also close to the city center; only 4 minutes by metro. The prices in this area are cheaper than in city centre. There was several supermarkets, and restaurants nearby with great authentic Greek food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. Our agent was attentive to ALL OUR needs, and very helpful. He even drove us to places we did not expect him to take us during a taxi strike. He helped us as though he was a lost uncle from Britain. Due to him we love the British even more now. "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON"! The owner, planned our entire trip to the islands with many great ideas through her numerous emails to us. We would stay here again, and encourage our friends to do the same. Thank you for making our vacation extra wonderful.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review. We do try VERY HARD to make our guests feel at home and have a wonderful stay in Greece. We also travel and understand the need for a comfortable, clean home in a foreign country.

What a great place from which to experience Athens! Everything you read in the other reviews is true. My wife and I had a wonderful time and regret that we could not stay longer. A big part of it was the apartment and location, but also the owner and agent. I travel the world and have never experienced such attention to detail and level of care to ensure an enjoyable stay (I don’t want to call it service – they really care.) The apartment is perfect to just relax (the couches will lull you into a quick nap if you’re not careful) or go out and be adventurous. It’s just outside of the touristy areas, but only just, tucked inside a great little neighborhood filled with cafés, bakeries, restaurants, grocery, etc… It’s all here. This allows for one to mingle with the locals and get some authentic food, wine and neighborhood laughter. The people were very welcoming and open with us – we ate dinner with whole families (in one of the restaurants) while watching a local football game. The good times were flowing and we cheered along! This was exactly what we were looking for. As for the antiquities – your only four quick metro stops away from the Acropolis and new museum. The metro is an enjoyable five minute stroll from the apartment Other stops and or plazas are only minutes away and easily accessible – no need to rent a car. The owner will be sure that everything is ready and will supply you with very detailed information and suggestions. The agent who meets you is an absolute gem and was more than attentive. We feel that we have not only come away with a great experience, but also a new friend. We will miss him and will speak of him fondly. All-in-all, the apartment was perfect and close to everything one could want while being in a safe neighborhood. We love the balconies and spent many a moment on them drinking coffee or tea. I would highly recommend a stay here as it has been a simple and painless procedure at a fantastic price. Again, it was exactly what we were looking for... and more.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are glad that our apartment was comfortable for both of you, and that you enjoyed the neighborhood and all that it offers to our guests. The location is ideal to see all of the Antiquities, and to go to the center of Athens or the Port. Thank you for stsying with us.

We are Seasoned travelers from down under. Athens was our last stop after 4 months of travelling around Europe. May I say that this was the best acommodations we had through our trip. The apartment was clean, large, comfortable in every way. The best couches, and beds in our travels. We had a nice kitchen to prepare sone easy meals. The restaurants are plentiful in the neighborhood and very reasonable, with authentic Greek food which we enjoyed. Going to all the Antiquities was very easy and fast with the Metro. We could not believe how fast the Metro was, and how fast we got to the center of town, Acropolis, Parthenon, Plaka, Monastiraki etc. Great location, near the city center, but yet a local Greek neighborhood where we experienced Greek life style for the time we were there. The Farmer's market was great, grocery stores are near by, along anything you need in a neighborhood. Our agent was there to welcome us, and walk us around the neighborhood on the first day so we knew which stores to shop for food, and which ones are open late. He was a great help for some of our other needs as tourists. He even drove us to the beach couple of times. The owner gave us great ideas to see places that we had not imagined were there for our pleasure. This last leg of our travel made us wish we had stayed here longer. We felt at home. Thank you Maria and Terry for letting us stay at your apartment, and the care you shared with us.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are happy that you enjoyed the apartment, the neighborhood and the location of the apartment to the Athens proper. We are especially happy that you took advantage of the great restsurants in our neighborhood.

Our vacation in Athens during the negative news publicity WAS WONDERFUL. We never felt any of the negative vibe. We were able to do all the sight seeing we were there for. Enough of that... About our stay now... Our apartment was more than we expected. It was exactly the way it was described and then some. Very Spacious, good flow to the living areas, quiet, sunny to enjoy the Greecian light. Kitchen was comlete with everything to prepare meals - even formal dishes for entertaining. The neighborhood had everything we needed - from super markets, to small late liitle markets, bakeries, banks, etc. A park nearby with fountains for a delightful cup of early coffee at the numerous (8) coffee shops. A delightful meal at night at some of the best tavernas around the park. We ate most our meals in the neighborhood - reasonable GREAT AUTHENTIC FOOD. We would stay there again in a heart beat. We are trevelers and have never experienced such great service from the owner - who emailed us great ways to spend our days, short trips around Athens, and great places to eat. The agent is English, lives next door and was always there to help us. Even on the night when we lost our keys. He even drove us to a museum when my wife twisted her ankle. The attention to the guests at this establishment surpassed any other place we have ever stayed in Europe. We highly recommend this apartment for location, spacious, clean, great neighborhood, convenient to the Metro, great restaurants with reasonable prices, and a great agent who is very supportive and attentive to his guests.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are glad that you enjoyed our apartment, the neighborhood and the ease of the Metro to all the venues you wanted to visit. Please tell your friends about us.

Our stay at this apartment was wonderful. It was more than we expected. Large, clean, convenient to the Metro, restaurants, coffee shops, the Antiquities were minutes away from the Metro. Even the beach was accesible by a short taxi ride. We had a great time, staying at a very friendly, quiet , and safe neighborhood with lots of space. The owner was extremely helpful to guide us where to go and what to see. The agent is English and extremelly helpful. He lives next door, so it is convenient to seek him out if you need something. I woulf definetelly tell my friends about this great place. The connection to Internet and WiFi helps.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Our apartment shows the hospitality of Greece. We try very hard to help, please, and support our guests with all their needs. We understand how hard it is to be a foreigner in another country. We hope that our attention to detail makes our guests feel welcome.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2000
About the owner: We are a retired couple from the states. Former teacher, and travel agent. We are Greek American (born in the states) and love to visit Greece. We purchased this apartment for our retirement. We love the traditional neighborhood and the ease of getting to the center of Athens. The location is convenient for traveling either by boat or plane. The Metro can take you to the port and you have access to all the islands of Greece. The airport is 20 minutes away for another option of getting around Greece. A very safe neighborhood with many shops, banks, and grocery stores. The weekly farmer's market is nearby. English speaking neighbors.
Why the Owner Chose Athens:
The location is ideal to get around the city of Athens, easy access to the port and the airport. The neighborhood has lovely parks, restaurants, coffee bars, many neighborhood shops, grocery stores, banks and other amenities that make city living pleasant.
Having the metro so close, makes it easy to travel to many touristic spots.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
Spacious, sunny, easy to maintain apartment with high ceilings - that we love. The apartment is on the corner and it wide, unlike some condos that are narrow and built like a railroad train. You will find reasonable restaurants (1/2 to 3/4 cheaper then the set prices from the center of Athens), coffee houses, stores to enjoy the Greek life. Metro is 6 min. away where it takes you all over the city and all the places of interests for tourists.
Cell phone is available for you (card phone). Feel free to ask for it from the manager down stairs.
