Mosquito screens
There are usually very few mosquitos in central Athens, and then only usually in full summer. We anyway have mosquito screens fitted on all windows and balcony doors, as well as having optional anti-mosquito devices for your use in the apartment.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

We appreciate that where you stay when you are away from your own home has a great bearing on the overall experience of your trip, your stay with us is intended to provide you with a home away from home.

Late checkin requirement for late arrivals:
Please note that for guests likely to be checking in from 21.00/9pm to our latest checkin time of 23.00/11pm based on late flight, ferry or other arrival transport mode we require the following: that you agree at the point of requesting the booking with us to use our recommended taxi transfer partner to transfer from the airport/port/train station respectively, in order to mitigate the lateness of your checkin to our apartment and to allow us to best plan for the late checkin by being in touch with the taxi transfer partner through the process of transfer to our apartment. The recommended transfer partner is anyway used by many of our guests at all times during their stays, is very reliable and competitively priced and represents the best, quickest and surest option for transferring late at night.

Check-in / luggage drop-off:
We alway try to be as flexible as possible, the indicated check-out time (by 11.00) and check-in time (from 15.00) are to allow us to clean and prepare the apartment when we have back-to-back stays with guests leaving and other guests arriving on the same day. Wherever possible we allow earlier check-in within reason, and either way we can almost always allow arriving guests to drop off luggage early from 11.15 or indeed earlier where this is possible based on the previous guests' departure time. Please let us know your requirements when booking, and we will always seek to find the best solution for your needs given what is possible.

Guests have access to all areas of the apartment during their stay, with the exception of one cupboard that is restricted for the use of the staff servicing the apartment between guest stays; there is however plenty of cupboard space for guest use in the bedrooms and elsewhere in the apartment.

Particular access requirements:
For guests with restricted movement and/or other particular needs please contact me directly via an Inquiry over Airbnb, in order that I can provide you with specific information regarding relevant accessibility aspects of this apartment such as dimensions and elevator and stair access. Many thanks.
