Avant Garde gets an A+ rating on everything. The location is amazing. The expansive balcony was perfect for taking in the view and enjoying the surroundings. Each time I reached out to the owners, they got right back to me. We were greeted with charm and finesse. This will be my residence of choice on any trip back to Athens and I will be sure to recommend

Everything was perfect with our stay at this apartment.
Great location. Excellent pre-arrival communication. Accommodating hospitality. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Immaculately clean.
Athens was experiencing a major heatwave while we were there. The apartment's a/c worked perfectly.
I absolutely recommend this apartment and would stay again if I return to Athens.

Beautiful apartment surrounded by restaurants and shopping. It was the perfect location for our family to see the historic sites, explore the markets, and enjoy happy hour on the balcony. My kids loved having thier coffee and baklava every morning on the balcony. The apartment was very comfortable, spacious, and has all of the amenities we needed. We highly recommend the Avant Garde!
5.0 / 5.0
This place was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see! Getting to and from the airport was a pain, but not the fault of the lodging at all. Lots of space for our group (2 couples 2 singles) to relax and unwind, but also socialize and enjoy the views. Kitchen was limited but perfect for our needs. Fantastic space with lots of character in a character filled city.
