Excellent stay!

Everything was made easy and as described.If you want a baby bed you need to ask ahead of time.

This was a perfect place for our family to stay. Gabriel is a wonderful host - lots of communication by email and text, and quick to respond with any needs or questions. He arranged airport pickup and cruise port drop off for us - and everything ran smoothly. The apartments are spacious, clean, and in a great location to walk to many attractions and historical sites. We enjoyed our time in Athens!

First off, the pictures don't really give you an idea of the properties. This really is 2 separate (non-connected) apartments in the same building. There are 3 total apartments in the building, 1 is vacant. The 2nd floor (3rd floor American) has a good sized dining area as you walk in, with 2 bedrooms (a queen sized and a 2 twins) to your right, followed by a living area on the right with a large french doors to a balcony. The queen bedroom also has the same doors with a balcony. The ceilings are very tall, which makes the space feel larger than it is. There is also a bathroom with shower and a decent sized kitchen (by European standards). The upper apartment is on the 3rd floor (4th floor American). It is a slightly smaller 1 bedroom (queen), with less in the kitchen. But a much larger balcony that gets a lot of sun. This apartment also has a shower in the bathroom. I really like the location, it is safe and a close walk to so many things in Athens (Monistiraki Square is about 8 minutes walking, Parliament is about the same going the other way, the Parthenon is about 15 minutes walking, etc..). There are grocery stores within 5-10 minutes walks. There are Covid tests for travel at pharmacy's within 5 min walk (10-20€). Right around the corner from the apartment is a really good shop with pastries, coffees and hot chocolates in the morning. The bad part is that the coffee shop next to it (on the corner) turns in to a really loud bar on Friday and Saturday nights... If you are going to be out partying anyway, this place is perfect. There are many bars and restaurants you can walk to. Otherwise it can get very loud 11-3am. But during the week, it was not a problem. Gabriel is great as well. We had an issue due to a massive monsoon that struck. And Gabriel was very easy to get a hold of and checked in often (even after). Check-in/out was also a breeze - the door to the building has a code and the keys are kept in a lock box - you get codes to both day of. The Wifi was also sufficient for both my kids to do their remote school through Zoom and Google Meet during our stay. This set up worked perfect for us, as we brought my in-laws with us. So if you have adult kids, or two couples, this works really well. It's not the Ritz, but more like the Holiday Inn. If I were to return with the guys (or just without the kids), I would stay here in a heartbeat. The price is great, the accomodations work, and the location is central.
