This room is very nice and conveniently located. The check-in and access to the property is well managed and it was well-appointed. Tassos was super nice and easy to communicate with! They luckily provide you with 2 sets of ear-plugs for sleeping as the music and young people at the clubs below are VERY loud until at least 2:00am. Also, it is not true about the laundry - there is none in the unit or building so we had to walk 10 minutes to a laundromat.

Very clean and practical artfully decorated place at reasonable value with a very attentive host. The area is close to lots of restaurants. But, due to the same proximity you will have some noise even with windows closed. But sure I would come back.

Quick Trip to Athens

Had an incredible stay at Urban Tales. Tassos was extremely helpful during my stay and gave great recommendations on places to go and where to eat. The hotel is located in a very convenient location close to numerous restaurants and bars, and an easy walk to the train station, which was important as I was only there for a quick trip. Roughly 15 minutes walk to the Acropolis, and minutes from other great historical places to visit. Was the perfect location for everything I wanted to see and do. Beautiful loft-style room, in immaculate condition. Loved my stay there and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Really comfortable apartment & great for a few nights stay while I was working in Athens. The hosts were really helpful & arranged a transfer for me when a strike meant there was no metro or taxis to get to the airport. There's a lovely bar on the corner that made a 'local blend' tea that was perfect after a busy time trying to fit in sightseeing in the evenings. The apartment was very well furnished with cooking equipment, although (apart from the coffee machine!) I didn't get chance to use it. Quite near the Acropolis & walked past it each night which of course, is just mega!
