About this apartment rental

Situated within the heart of Kolonaki, the most exclusive residential quarter of Athens, this comfortable 82 m2 apartment, is perfect for a long or short stay in Athens. The location is very convenient as it is close to the metro and also a short walking distance to many attractions. Although the apartment is in the centre of Athens, it is very quiet. It is decorated with the owner's exclusive artwork, and has everything you will need to feel at home. The kitchen is more that well equipped for preparing food, alternatively there are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes around.

The apartment:
This renovated 50's apartment comprises of a cozy living room with hand made pillows, a vibrant fully equiped modern kitchen in red and black, a comfortable dining-room , a turquoise small-tile bathroom, two relaxing bedrooms: a dark pink vintage one with an antique double bed and a turquoise one with a modern fresh feel. An oasis of plants in the balcony offers a hug in the end of the day.

Kolonaki
It is the most chic neighbourhood of Athens, one of the liveliest and safest, sheltering wealthy Greeks and foreign Embassies. Glamorous socialites frequent the fashionable cafes, bars, trendy restaurants, ouzeries, tavernas, chic boutiques, art galleries and designer stores. Small parks, pedestrian streets and the pine-covered slopes of Lycabettus Hill also make Kolonaki a lovely area to experience on foot at any hour of the day or night.

In the neighbourhood:
Supermarkets, dry cleaning, bakeries, butcher shops, pharmacies, banks are just a stroll from the apartment. Every Friday, the Farmer's market down Xenokratous street is full of local produce.
Just across the Square, an Open air Cinema and a very nice café are well worth a visit.

This is a beautiful property. Very comfortable and fully equipped apartment. There is a lovely balcony to have your breakfast each morning. The location is excellent. There is a lovely place to eat in the evening - literally moments from your door step. We went there each night to have a light dinner and soak up the atmosphere. The property is close to the sites- 30 mins walk to the acropolis and 15 mins walk to lots of museums. However the property is an upward walk from the centre so may need to use a taxi on the way back if walking and heat is a problem. Sofia, the property owner, made us feel very welcomed. They gave us a tour of the property and help us to familiarise ourselves with the property. I would strongly recommend booking this property when in Athens.

The apartment is exactly as advertised. It is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Thank you so much for your welcome, Sofia, and also for your flexibility with check-out on our departure day. We have really appreciated that! The apartment location is ideal for visiting Athens. Literally every major sight is easy walking distance, alternatively, 2 metro stations can be reached in 10-15 minutes. There are dozens of restaurants in the area, we would like to point one that is just around the corner, simple outside dining bistro style, the food and service are great. Be patient waiting for a table, the place is very crowded and appreciated by locals; it is worth the wait. Look for Dexameni restaurant. We have liked the apartment itself, the bedrooms are spacious which is a real plus. You may get some street noise in the living-room and on the balcony but both bedrooms face the interior of building and are very quiet. All equipment was very clean and working fine! To summarize: this apartment has everything a short term rental needs for a successful weekend abroad and we recommend it highly.

The stay was all good; it was in a good location, clean, described accurately, communication with Sophia was great, etc. She has quirky-but-good decor, including some of her mother's drawings, other people's ceramics, and her own paintings. Also, thanks so much for the sweet bread!
