The apartment was perfect for our family. It was really hot in Athens and it was wonderful to stay inside during the hot hours with AC, a fully furnished kitchen and lots and lots of books to read. We felt at home! Our girls especially loved reading the collection of Tintin, Astérix and Lucky Luke in French. The neighborhood is also great and perfect to discover Athens. It is not touristy but vibrant with very good local restaurants, coffee places and fashion shops.

Our family spent 2.5 weeks exploring Europe, staying in 6 different rentals, and this Kolonaki Home was easily my favorite! Nicoletta and her husband, Dimitris, were amazing hosts. They went above and beyond in communicating with us before our arrival, and were so gracious to accommodate an unexpected flight delay that meant greeting our family at 5AM. Dimitris acted like it was no big deal and warmly welcomed us to their Athens home when we arrived. The apartment is very spacious, with two large sitting areas, 3 sizable bedrooms, 2 well equipped bathrooms, along with a lovely kitchen. It’s everything it’s described to be—and more! Every inch of this home is gorgeous, clearly well cared for and thoughtfully curated to be a beautiful, comfortable and welcoming space. After a couple disappointing stays at other rentals before we arrived, it was even more apparent that these hosts have thought of everything! The apartment is well stocked, offering just about anything a traveler might need when living away from home. They even had a printer set up and available for use—such a blessing, with Covid test results and other paperwork we needed for our next destination. It’s conveniently located in a lovely, upscale area of Athens. Lots of restaurants and shops in the neighborhood around the apartment. It was only about 15 minutes’ walk to arrive at our first ancient site of the day. But if you’d rather taxi or Uber, we didn't wait longer than a couple minutes before one drove up for a quick lift to our restaurant that evening and early morning drive to the docks for a ferry the next day. Our short stay in Athens was amazing and made even better because of the incredible place where we got to relax and sleep, after a very full 10-hour day exploring the city. After we’d moved on to our next destination, I realized I’d left something at the apartment and needed to have it shipped to our place in krakow, Poland. Dimitris found what I’d left and shipped it back to me, at his own expense. Seriously, I doubt you’ll find better hosts or a more fabulous rental than this Kolonaki Home! Unless it’s one of the several other rentals owned and managed by this wonderful family. I would give this incredible place and it’s amazing hosts 10 stars, if I could!
