Guestbook comments from the manager
Amazing Apartment, Amazing Customer Service, Amazing View of Athens (you can see the Mediterranean Sea). The apartment and its appliances are new and spotless and the customer service is flawless.
Nikos gave us the best customer service out of the 3 airbnb reservations we had. He has arranged and prepared the apartment specifically for tourists and he thought of everything. Everything convenient you'd have in your home, Nikos has put here and organized so well we found everything immediately without having to search cupboards or drawers. (cotton swabs, bottle openers, silverware, dishes, etc...)
We were welcomed warmly and had everything explained to us.
It really is more than I expected and made our stay so much better. Having a place like this to wake up in and come home to when you're tired is really worth it.
Neat, Clean, open spaced, beautiful balconies, fast internet, endless hot water, lots of drawers and huge closet space, clean floors, brand new Air Conditioners, safe and secure heavy door, telecom to downstairs floor, elevator, and the list goes on and on.
You won't be disappointed.
Map
Our title 'Amazing View' gives literaly the picture of this property.
The (30kms range) views from the 24h accessible terrace is breathtaking.
It's more like flying over the city in a helicopter.
Acropolis, Piraeus harbour, the sea of Saronic Gulf and the islands Aegina and Salamina are just a few of the visible sights.
The apartment located at the sides of the mot central hill of Athens.
The Attica region
The mainland of Greece forms the southernmost part of the Balkan peninsula, in the north also including parts of the historical regions of Macedonia and Thrace, further to the south narrowing into a 'Greek peninsula' in its own right, including historical Epirus, Thessaly, Boeotia and Attica, and concluding in the separate peninsula of Peloponnese, comprising the historical territories Sparta, Corinth and Argos, all surrounding the peninsula's heartland of Arcadia.
As for Attica, the region is incredibly famous and unique for its breathtaking monuments and museums. A region with great history due to also being the birthplace of the famous philosophers Aristotelis, Sokratis, Aristofanis etc.
So why not come and explore the region for yourself !
The Athens / Nea Kipseli area
The location is 'Nea Kipseli', part of the center circle, which means that if you enjoy walking you'll need about 20 minutes to Omonoia square and through that to Plaka, the old town, the Ancient Market, the Acropolis and lots of other 'must see' monuments.
On the other hand, if you are the type of public transportation, you'll find several different bus lines in 100-150 meters range around the flat, taking to all main points of the city, ex. time by bus to Omonoia square 5-6', Syntagma 10', Mesogion ave 5-6', Acropolis (south side) in 12' etc.
If you are after all a practical type, you'll realize that you can have a call-taxi waiting for you right outside your door and take you to all places mentioned above before you know it, with only a few euros. Taxis are exceptionally cheap in Greece (Omonoia 4 eur., Plaka 6 eur, Acropolis 7 eur, etc).
In a range of 100m there are pharmacy, super market, grocery, bakery, butcher shop, tobacco, food take away, you name it.
As for the issue of safety, you can ask the little children playing out in the street.
In 5 minutes walk, about 300m there is the famous Fokionos Negri street, full of restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, clubs and any kind of night amusement.

Wonderful!

Lovely apartment, near to a vibrant area
We had four nights in Nikos's apartment. Nikos was very friendly and helpful while we were booking and although he was away when we were there, the lady who looks after the apartment was also very kind, friendly and helpful. The apartment is at the top of a hill (Athens in very hilly) - so the shared rooftop terrace view is wonderful, especially the acropolis. The apartment is very clean, spacious and new looking, and very comfortable - we felt at home immediately. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the lift! Both bedrooms and the living room have terraces with tables, and there is air con (not in double-bed room) for when it's just too hot to be outside! It is about 5 mins walk from shops and a further 5 mins from Kypseli square, where there is a long parade of pastry shops on one side (Kypseli) and many restaurants (Fokionos Negro) on the other. It is a vibrant, multi-cultural neighbourhood with kids playing football in the square, men playing dominos and women chatting. The restaurants sold good local food at prices similar to those we'd been paying in the Peloponnese, and there are a couple (closed in August) that are widely recommended. Look at www.mattbarrett-travel.com for info on this area. Taxis into the centre are 4-8 euros, and everywhere, so for a family, it's cheaper and quicker than taking the bus or trolley-bus, both of which are only a couple of minutes walk away. I'd be very happy to stay here again.
Nikos was a great host and was very helpful. Would stay again if we are in Athens.
Very informative, engaging and willing to help.
The apartment is well maintained in a modern complex and is lovely and quiet.
Excellent stay in Athens
I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Athens. It is everything that you could need. Thank you Nikos ! Thanks for all of your help
Luxurious , safe and clean, not far from the centre.
The property is very sturdy and clean with excellent security. All units in the building belong to the same owner, and there is a caretaker couple who will help you with Taxi ordering / wise advise on anything silly tourists can think off. Thank you! (I would put your names here but have no idea how to spell them) The flat is luxurious, and TV, air conditioning, washing machine, dishwasher , bathroom, it all just works. The doors and walls are all very solid, so not much noise about. The quality of the doors would seem sufficient for the national bank vault of a minor nation (5 x 1-inch bolts on a 18 lever lock) We stayed with 5 people, 1 more than the property advises, but the owner helped us out when some other arrangements fell through. Thanks Nikos! We did not find the place too cramped for the 5 of us. The balcony is lovely but pride of place is the roof terrace. We spent every evening there, looking over all of Athens, playing cards, chatting, drinking Metaxa...and generally relaxing with the kids - 3 teenagers. They feel I must mention the very good quality and speed of the WiFi connection - right. There is a small shop very near for essentials. A bus leaves very nearby but only comes every 20 minutes. It will take you to the centre or to the tube station. Make sure you have a pile of bus tickets in stock (tickets are valid on ALL public transport for 90 minutes) Getting back with the bus should be easy but we never mastered it or rather when you get to one of the nearby metro's the taxi only costs 4 Euro's so we could not be bothered to try too hard. 10 minutes walk is a lovely area to go out from the main square in Kipseli. Lots of food, anything from snack bar to gourmet, and lots of nightlife. No chance to get bored, though there is the walk 10 minutes back to the flat uphill afterwards. I would advise this place to any of my friends and family, in fact if we are ever back in Athens I think I will just give Nikos a ring and save myself a lot of time.
Fabulous!
The apartment was very comfortable and well furnished. It was clean, tidy and spacious. Having the roof terrace was a real treat as we had amazing views over Athens. There are also two balconies which catch the sun at different times of the day. Nikos provides a great service: he arranged transport from and to the airport in a top of the range Audi, which was luxurious. When we arrived at the flat he was there to meet us and was there to ensure everything was okay when we left. It was late at night when we arrived and he took the trouble to take us to a restaurant and spoke to the owner so that we would have something we liked to eat. The food was delicious! The area is well served for supermarkets and bakeries. We also took the short walk to the local square every day to get a taxi into Athens. The drivers were always very helpful and got us where we wanted to go. It was just myself and my daughter travelling but at no time did we feel unsafe. We managed to see everything that was on our list to see in Athens, went to some great restaurants and generally had a fabulous time.
The Reviews have it right, nice place to stay.
My wife and I just finished a 2 month stay at Nikos Athens condo. We were very happy with the accommodation and overwhelmed by the caring and thoughtfulness of Nikos and Voula the caretaker. We had our daughter and nephew part of the time and stayed at both a 2 bedroom and the 1 bedroom units. Our TV wasn't responding and Nikos drives over and we go out and get a new flat screen on a Saturday night. The units are spotless and everything is represented as advertised. The reviews are correct about how nice this place is. For a Rental in Athens without worries and a restful place to live ( with a great terrace view) after a day of sightseeing, Nikos apt and condos will serve you well. We are traveling for over a year
( richerforwandering.com )and we hope all our short term Rentals are this nice.
