Athens Residence Apartments

As there was not enough information offered to arrive at the apartment, we were dragging our luggages from train station all the way up to the apartment. It took quite a bit of effort with our luggages and the uphill walking. This is not a nice encounter, that said, we were greeted by a nice manager who has waited for us till quite late. The apartment is lovely, bed is comfortable, linen and towels were top quality. It may be great to have a slightly larger bathroom / toilet as the glass door of the shower compartment kept banging against the toilet bowl. We were welcomed by a big cockroach in the bathroom but we managed to flash it down the toilet ! Finally, I have just received an invoice for Euro 1.50 per day and its in Greek and I was being charged without knowing what it was.

這是一個民宿，離地鐵站有數百米的上坡路，拉着行李過去很費勁，服務態度很好，房間還不錯，可惜沒有瓶裝水

We stayed in one of the semi basement apartment out of two . There are two more floors above us . This is the mixed neighborhood with working Greece people living here , safe and quiet. This is a small three room apartment with living room, bed room, small kitchen with refrigerator and electric oven . The bathroom is small but functional. There are three areas that could be improved for better stay: 1. Living room couch is dated and need either new cover or replacement. 2. Since the unit is semi basement , humidity is high and we could smell musty air . This could be mitigated by putting a portable dehumidifier in the bedroom . 3. The bathroom has smell from the sewer pipe and we let the fan running to eliminate it. We would stay at this property in the future at other floors. Hope this help.

So pleasant to be in a quiet neighborhood close to a few nice cafes and casual restaurants. Then a few blocks further and you are in the main Plaka shopping district, then a few more steps to Acropolis. Very very convenient. The national gardens and metro are about 10minutes walk away. Alfred was a wonderful host.

The flat I stayed in (ground floor, B1) was beautiful and light, high ceilings, polished floorboards, and spacious. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. I was extremely comfortable. For a street so close to the centre of Athens (which is a very vibrant, noisy city), it was incredibly quiet. I was working with the university there and had no problems getting a couple of half-days work done in the flat. The property is a 10 minute walk from the Acropolis (depending on how you deal with hills!), 15 mins from the tourist centre, loads of great cafes and restaurants and many more within easy access through the metro network which is a 10 minute downhill walk. Just bear in mind that you don’t visit Athens and avoid hills! But there’s Uber etc. if you don’t like that. I would note that the “kitchen” was extremely small, and although I cooked in it every night with no problem, if you are planning a long stay and to make your own food, you should be aware of that. I enjoy a desk or a dining table (for working more than eating), but my flat didn’t have one. That said, I still rate this 5 star accomodation because it was such a lovely space with a great feel, and the staff there were so friendly. To me, that’s what counts.

Easy check-in. Albert was very helpful explaining dining options and how to get around. Spacious room with separate kitchen area. Loved the balcony.
