Large apartment / 180sq.m (1937sq.foot). Rented as a whole or as 2 separate and connecting apartments, found in two different listings, located on the first floor (1st in Europe / 2d in the U.S.).

We are honoured to introduce our latest apartment (2023), especially designed to offer comfort and accessibility, so much needed in Athenian short-term rentals, for leisure or business trips.

The Gracious apartment is the fourth large apartment at the A.U.R.A. complex, a privately owned and managed property building, in the most convenient, quiet, and beautiful Athenian neighborhood named Thission, in the heart of the Athens historical center.

Visitors’ comments for all A.U.R.A. properties primarily focus on three major advantages: Quality accommodation, ideal location and a hospitable host/owner, supported by an admirable team. What follows explains why.

The apartment’s description:

The A.U.R.A. Gracious Accessible Apartment is situated on the 1st floor (2d for U.S.) and is served by an elevator. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms (one with a queen size sofa bed) and 5 bathrooms (3 en suite and 2 next to the respective bedrooms). Please note that three bedrooms can be set as either king size or two single beds, based on our guests' convenience, while one bedroom is equipped with a sofa-bed. The bedding arrangements provided on this listing relate to the maximum capacity. In the spacious living room, another sofa bed may also accommodate 1-2 persons. Guests are kindly requested to define their desired bedding arrangements and we will be happy to have them prepared accordingly.

We are proud to have created one distinguished part of the apartment as wheelchair accessible (also found as a separate listing) with a specially designed bathroom and accessibility features.

The kitchen area connecting to the living area and large dining table, is convenient and comfortable for homemade meals. An inviting balcony offers a lovely view over the street’s life as a theatrical scene overlooking Athenians passing by to enjoy a drink, or meal in one of the neighborhood’s hip spots.

All rooms offer separate A/C, and the apartment is quite spacious, offering guests’ autonomy and privacy which are so valuable during traveling, even for the closest group members.

For preferred bedding accommodation please refer to the following name codes:
Bedroom 1: Akrokeramus (included in the living room area)
Bedroom 2: Mosaic
Bedroom 3: Rodax
Bedroom 4: Keramus
Bedroom 5: Lithos
