So well appointed, great location, and Carole's tips were so great and helpful! You really go the extra mile to your guests and we will definitely come back and stay there again!

We enjoyed our stay in the Athens First Apartment from 8/22-8/27 2009. We were a family of 6, including four kids. We found everything we needed in this lovely, well furnished, and very clean and comfortable apartment. We loved breakfast on the verandah, access to high speed internet, and easy access to everything we needed. It was easy to get to the historic center--- except that everyone was so comfortable they wanted to rest longer in the apartment!
Thank you, Carole and Basil, for providing such a wonderful place to stay! I have already recommended this to friends and relatives. |

| Athens Heritage House suited our family of four, including two teenagers, perfectly (and could comfortably have accomadated another two people). It's been finished and furnished beautifully, so feels much more like a home than rental property. I loved the clawfoot tub and the hardwood floors, while the teens were delighted to find WIFI and and iHome! The location in Thisseus about a block and a half from the Metro and pedestrian walkway (and cafe area) is fabulous. The travel and neighborhood tips provided are much better than a guidebook! Best deal around. |

| We had a great time at Heritage House. It was such a great location that we did not have to take a cab anywhere except to get to the port at the end of our trip. We were traveling with 3 teenage girls and were concerned about staying somewhere we felt comfortable about them exploring on their own. Well, no worries here. It was perfect. Yianni our cab driver was awesome, as was the owner upstairs. Carole was also a pleasure leading up to our trip. Thank you so much, we would definitely recommend Heritage House to a friend, and would love to stay there again. It made our stay in Athens relaxing and comfortable. |

Comment Text: Marvellous location in a quiet street but just a few hundred yards from all the ancient sites and the wonderful new Acropolis museum. Staying here made our experience of Athens wonderful.
Do watch out on the metro though, I had my wallet stolen going just one stop. |

| July 17-22nd 2009, What a magnificient apartment! We were so surprised with the quality of everything in the apartment - couldn't have asked for anything more! And the location was amazing, we walked for miles every day every direction, the city definetely comes alive at night and we loved the atmosphere of all the bars and restaurants. We have already told many of our friends of our wonderful experience and have highly recommended staying at the Heritage House. |

| We had the best time staying in Carole & Basil's "Acropolis View - Beta" and "Athens First" apartments during our recent trip to Greece! This was our first time traveling to Europe w/ our four children (14, 12, 9 & 7) and father-in-law (who was born in Greece, but hadn't returned in 63 years). The apartments were perfect in every way --spacious, nicely furnished, & updated w/ all the creature comforts necessary for a "home away from home." The location was ideal, too. We felt like tourists by day and locals by night b/c we visited attractions during the day and then had a relaxing dinner at a local taverna near the apartments. Carole's welcome package and recommendations were extremely helpful, and really made our trip so much more relaxing for us. We would highly recommend any of Carole's Athens apartments, and plan to contact her the next time we visit Greece (which our children hope is every year!). Thank you so much, Carole -- You're the BEST!! |

| We stayed in the Alpha apartment from 7/31/2009 - 8/3/2008 and there were 6 adults and one 12 year old. We used the three bedrooms and sofabed and it worked out perfectly. The apartment is modern, the kitchen was great and having laundry available (we just finished a 12 night cruise) was a huge bonus. We found that being a little off of the main tourist area the prices for food were very inexpensive. The taxi stand was convenient and we ended up buying all we needed at the german drug/grocery store at the mall. There is a greek food shop directly across the street from the apartment and around the corner. Great selection, superb prices; we really stocked up on gifts there and were surprised about their low prices since it looks like an expensive shop. We also bought refrigerated greek appetizers and baked them at home. Highly recommend this in lieu of a hotel. |

We loved Carole's apartment. There were four
adults and we found the apartment in perfect shape
with everything that we needed. The bedrooms are
large, everything is very clean, and the apartment is
equipped with up to date appliances. The view to
the Acropolis is excellent and in particular we loved
the view from the roof-top to the Acropolis. The
location gave us an idea of the Athens that the
locals experience. We had no problem taking the
tram from across the street to the ruins. Above all
Carole is absolutely great. Her recommendations
and insight were wonderful. We are so grateful for
your help Carole. We recommend this apartment
with absolutely no hesitation.

| We stayed in the apartment for eight days, and we cound not be more pleased. Four adults and two young children fit and slept comfortably in the very modern, updated and well stocked apartment with a wonderful veranda. It is not in a tourist area, but rather a neighborhood of Athenians going about their daily business. However, it is very close to buses, metro, and convenient to all of the places you want to visit. We even went to the beach a couple of days for the kids. Sight-seeing in the day and coming home to your neighborhood and apartment at night was great. We shopped almost daily at the local grocers and bake shops, and primarily cooked breakfast and dinner "at home". Booking something on-line was a little un-nerving, (site unseen), but this apartment is everything Carole and Basil show it to be. Thanks, Robert Bryant, Houston, TX |

We had the most amazing stay ever!
As a large group of University Architecture students, we were looking for a place that our group could all stay together and Carole made that possible. The penthouses were amazing and we lived like royalty. The welcome baskets were a lovely surprise, and the accommodations as a whole were 5 star! I cannot imagine enjoying Athens half as much had we not stayed here. There is no better place to stay in Athens!

| The apartment was a great central location to walking to some wonderful restaurants and grocery stores. The tiropita were fantastic in the area and the sweet shop has a deadly deserts including the galatobouriko, almost taste it as I write it. Our relatives and taxis had no trouble finding us as well. I can really recommend the fast boats to the islands as you can do even day trips on them. The apt itself had all the luxuries of being home especially with cable and internet. The only downfall I can make about this place was the building noise across the street, which at times was quite loud in the beginning. Other than that, stay here and find everything at your fingertips. Beds, washer/dryer, kitchen and bathrooms were excellent . Thank you Carole for a wonderful vacation and next time I would love to try another place. Vicki and George Constan |

| What an amazing apartment. We traveled in August and stayed for 2 weeks with a 3 year-old and an 80 year-old -- we needed all the comforts and we got them! It was spotless, the a/c worked when and how we needed it to, everything was supplied that we could ever need in the kitchen (and everywhere else), the bedrooms were comfortable and easy to sleep in. It was an all around fantastic place to stay. They represented their home EXACTLY as it was. The veranda was a highlight. We ate meals and practiced music while we were out there...and drank a lot of coffee! We've recommended it to everyone we know. Thank you Carole and Basil. |

| The Lykavitos View apartment was just what we needed as a home base for our travels in Greece! My youngest daughter was on her foreign study in Athens since August 2008 and my wife and I came to visit her with my oldest daughter, her fiance, and my youngest daughter's boyfriend. The six of us spent two weeks in the Athens apartment while we took short side trips to the Peloponnese, Central Greece and Crete. It was great to be able to "come home" to the apartment after a busy day or busy side trip and relax. We always had breakfast at the apartment and we went to the farmers market and grocery stores to get food for the nights we decided to eat at home. There was something for everyone, as my wife and I had quiet places to read and with the internet access, stereo, cable television, international telephone calls and ipod dock the kids were able to keep "connected" for the entire trip! Pangrati was a great neighborhood with many restaurants, bakeries and places to shop. We were only a short walk, trolley, bus or metro ride from any of the sites in Athens. It was an adventure and a terrific vacation. Steve |

Carole was very helpful in rental of their apartment
in Athens. After a Cruise, three couples stayed
three nights there. (Twin Room not as comfy)
A wonderful Giro place was less than a block away,
and wish we'd eaten there more than once. (Good
Prices!) Shampoo, soap, etc. were included...didn't
know that prior. Take a bus tour of the city, it's
easy to get turned around, but Carole has LOTS of
maps, hints, and brochures for use. The patios
were a huge hit. Thanks again...Denise Adams |

The Beta apartment was completely ideal for our party of 5 ladies. We normally go in a hotel for our annual break however had decided that it would be better to have an apartment so that we weren't restricted to breakfast times and space etc. The apartment was perfect for our needs both in terms of facilities and location. A short taxi ride or walk can get you to most places in Athens, however on your doorstep there was lots of shops and bars to keep us occupied.
The roof terrace was lovely, a great view over the city and we really didn't do it justice as we were only in Athens for a short break (luck for Carol And Basil who were also staying as we can be a little rowdy at times).
I would highly recommend the Beta apartment as a great place to stay with all mod cons for seasoned travellers.

We found the location of Heritage House and its
layout to be absolutely perfect for our group of six.
Even more impressive, however, were Carole's
attention, concern and effort as we planned our trip
to Greece. Even though this was my third trip to
Greece, Carole made several suggestions of places
to visit like Napflio and stay in (e.g. Hotel
Papanikola in Piana) that I was not aware of. They
worked out superbly. She also stood by our side,
ready to help us when one of our party lost his
passport on the day of our departure. She was
genuinely interested in our experience in Greece,
asking pictures and descriptions of our various
stops.
I am not given to puffery. However, there is no way
I can adequately convey the dedication, knowledge
and concern Carole shows for her guests
throughout their stay in Greece.
Carol and Basil are the best reason to stay at the
Athenian Penthouses or Heritage House. |

I discovered The Athens Heritage House on Craigslist about nine months before my scheduled arrival. I had countless emails with questions for Carole who was always prompt and thorough with her replies.
The house was perfect for my diverse set of needs. The beds and the shower were excellent We loved neighborhood.
I'm still dreaming about the bakery around the corner! We walked everywhere!
Carole, thank you for your advise on my other travel plans. Babis, we took your advise and stopped at a village on the Corinth Sea on the way to Delphi and had a delicious fish lunch! Thank you!

We had an amazing week in Greece and our Alpha
View penthouse was everything the site promised.
Your hospitality made for a very special experience,
especially the Easter celebration on the rooftop
deck. It was a great introduction to the culture and
splendor of Athens.
The beds were so comfortable, the location
wonderfully convenient, and the view - well
amazing.
I know we would have had an incredible trip in any

Wow, what a find! For my husband's 85th birthday 10 members of our immediate family (3 couples, 6 grandchildren, ages 3 1/2
to 21) vacationed in Greece. My husband is a Greek-American and wanted his children and grandchildren to see where his father
was born.
I found the Athens Penthouse, Alpha and Beta, on the Web, and could not have been more pleased with the results. I must say I
was apprehensive before we arrived, but my fears were soon diminished when my husband and I arrived. It is a lovely apartment in
a good neighborhood in Athens. Restaurants nearby, transportation a block or two. Plenty of shopping! Our family enjoyed
having breakfast together before heading out on our site-seeing journeys. We also enjoyed the sunsets on the terrace with mezedes and ouzo. The aparment is very clean, modern, new appliances (all you will ever need) and convenient.
Yianni was a great help arranging transportation. Moving a family of 12 is a little difficult, but Yianni made is very easy. Basil and
Carole sent a package with all the information you could possibly need regarding where to eat, shop, transportation etc. It was a
totally stress free time & our family will never forget this vacation, it was all we dreamed of and more.
Also, the welcome basket was fantastic. We had our Ouzo, Frappe's etc and look forward to the next trip to Greece. Thank you
so much to Basil and Carole for opening up their home in Greece. |

I just returned from a vacation of 8 days in Athens with my wife and son visiting my daughter who is studying abroad there. We had a fantastic visit and much of it had to do with Carol and the apartment we stayed in.
Unfortunately, while we were there most sectors of the workforce were staging strikes protesting benefit and retirement changes. Carol had great info and informed us each night almost about what sector was going on strike the next day. It was a great help planning our daily activities to know whether we were going to be able to ride the metro or should plan something outside of Athens for the day.
The apartment was wonderful and perfect for us. The next to last night we invited our daughters roomates and friends-6 girls-to the apartment and had a greek "feast" delivered to the apartment by one of the restaurants Carol recommended in her information package she gave to us prior to arriving. There was plenty of room on the varanda and it was quite special.
We used Yanni the taxi driver to pick us up and take us back to the airport. He was very personable and prompt. I would highly recommend the service.
The apartmnent was great and the service we recieved from Carol while we were there was first rate.
Thank you Carol.

had to offer. It certainly shows that a lot of
attention to detail (and love) was put into the recent
renovations. You just don't know what to expect
and this was certainly a pleasant surprise for us all.
The location is ideal, with cafes, restaurants and
bars all just a few steps away - not to forget the
magical Acropolis.
The welcome basket of teas, coffees, local biscuits
and wine were greatly appreciated.
We have travelled through Europe and the USA on
this trip and this apartment is one of the best we
have stayed in. |

The Beta apartment was an excellent choice for our family over the Christmas holidays. It was so much nicer than a hotel with all the comforts of home. We really liked the comfortable beds and having the Internet accessible.

My husband and I along with our 7 year old daughter had the pleasure of staying in the Heritage House in early October for 3 nights - what a shame it wasn't longer!
We decided to make life easy for ourselves and paid the extra for transfers to and from the airport. Yannis was very professional and punctual and we would certainly recommend this service should your holiday budget stretch this far.
Babis and Xenia greeted us with a jug of cold orange juice which was a lovely surprise. The welcome basket of delicious local biscuits and wine went down a treat too :)
What can I say about the Heritage House - well, it was absolutely spotless for a start and had all the little extras any discering traveller could wish for. The bed linens were luxurious, washing machine and dryer a domestic godesses dream whilst on holidays and a shower to die for!
Our daughter who was seriously craving the company of kids even got to have a couple of plays with Xenia and Babis' children.
Carole was a delight to deal with. Communication with her was always prompt and the information package she sent us ensured that we had all the facts we needed before we even left home. In excited anticipation I read and re-read the information package many times in the weeks before we left and knew that we would not be dissapointed when we arrived at the Heritage House.
The house is situated very close to the amazing Acropolis and surrounded by many good restaurants.
If you are thinking about staying at the Heritage House, go ahead, you'll love it as much as we did :) |

Last month, we stayed in the Acropolis View Beta
apartment for eleven days. Carole and Basil have
done a wonderful job with the place. It is
comfortable and nicely designed with a wonderful
modern decor. We felt right at home. It exceeded
our expectations. We enjoyed both the shared
terrace on the roof for viewing the city at night as
well as spending time on the smaller apartment
terrace just gazing out at the activity in the street
below. We immediately felt at home in the
neighborhood as well, lounging in the afternoons
at the Terra Cafe just down the street sipping
espresso with ice cream. We can't stop talking
about our terrific trip, about how much we enjoyed
Athens, its ancient sites, its exciting nightlife, the
excellent food we had, and the fun day trips we
took to Santorini, Hydra, Sounio/Temple of
Poseidon, and Delphi. The apartment was the home
base we enjoyed coming back to each evening. We
fell in love with Athens, the Greek culture, and the
Greek people. We can't wait to be back! |

Last month we spent a most enjoyable week in Athens, Greece !!! Never having rented a personal apartment we were a little hesitant. We were concerned that we might feel as if we were invading someone's privacy. Well, we were delightfully surprised by how welcoming and comfortable the experience proved to be. The apartment fulfilled all of our expectations and in no time at all we felt very much "at home". Carole took the time prior to our arrival to answer my many questions and also had a fantastic "Welcome Basket" waiting for us in the apartment. All in all this was a very positive experience which we highly recommend. We are so glad we "found" you, Carole...........

Carole & Basil, It was a pleasure meeting both of you. Thank you for sharing your lovely 'Athens First' apartment. It was perfect for our family. The apartment was beautifully decorated with modern fixtures and the location was close to the metro or bus. The view of the Acropolis at night was spectacular! Your tips and suggestions were invaluable to our stay. The welcome basket saved us that first night--a very nice touch! I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone visiting Athens!!
PS-A suggestion--Definitely take advantage of the airport transfer--we wished we would have. It would have made that first (exhausting) night hassle-free! |

Dear Carole,
We had a most wonderful time in your fabulous apartment, and are really sorry to leave so soon. We've truly never seen such great accommodations in Athens. Most spectacular. Needless to say we really impressed our Greek relatives with our "penthouse terrazza" - I'm sure they'll be talking about it for years to come!!!!! Of course we're planning to come back every year and pretend it's our own!! Blague à part, we really enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
Thanks again and until next time, hoping to meet you soon! Helene & Angeliki XXX |

| In May of 2006 we spent a marvelous week in your duplex penthouse with our adult daughter and two friends from Chicago. We had a marvelous time! It was well within walking distance to many places, and close to public transportation to all the others we wanted to visit. We loved being in a neighborhood rather than in a tourist area, and we found the restaurants, cafes, and shops delightful and intriguing. People were so nice to us and treated us like neighbors. Of course the apartment was terrific. You left everything we needed, and the welcome basket was a grand surprise and treat. Everything worked so well, and the spacious apartment was perfect for our group of 5. Many thanks for all you did to make our stay so wonderful. |

| I and my family stayed at Acropolis View Beta apartment and were delighted with the high standards the care provided. Our flight was delayed and we would have missed the last train to Athens, but someone anticipated the problem and arranged for us to be met and taxis made available to take us directly to the apartment. Very thoughtful. The apartment is exceptionally well equipped with everything from a spa bath to an essential electric frappe whisk. We particularly enjoyed time spent on the terrace with the wonderful views of sunset over the acropolis. The apartment is in a pleasant area with a wide choice of shopping and eating establishments. Although we were warned against taxis, we were only once charged more than 2.5 euros for a trip to the centre of the city - well worth the money. |

There were four adults and it was lovely to have privacy, plus common areas where we could relax together with coffee or ouzo and plan or rehash the days activities. The apartment was very nice, clean, and well equipped. The balcony was a lovely place to relax with a drink and a good book. The welcome basket was a real treat! Yannis was a gem! Caroles information package was very helpful. If we return to Athens, we will definitely stay in one of Carole's penthouses again. |

hi carole. just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed staying in your apartment, the acropolis view beta. it is so lovely, comfortable and well-appointed, we felt very much at home.
your goodie basket was wonderful: i especially loved the olive paste, but also the dolmas and the giant white beans.
the neighborhood shopkeepers are so lovely. we went to the grocery store on imattou, across the street and a few blocks up to the right. the man at the cheese counter (george, w/ gray hair) gave us so many tastes, he wouldn't let us buy until we tasted several so we would know what we really liked. the feta from the barrel behind the counter was to die for. :-)
as you exit the market on imattou, turn right and go up the first street. there is a bakery halfway up the block. the dark-haired girl in the bakery speaks excellent english and she, too, insisted we sample several things. i fell in love w/ the flat, lacy, wafer-thin crispy cheese things.
and then there was the tyropita at the bakery on imattou and formios, on your side of the street. huge and triangular w/ the crispiest phyllo and the smoothest, most delicious cheese filling ever.
we also thoroughly enjoyed the friday morning neighborhood market. i must say i have never seen a kiosk devoted solely to toilet paper! and the produce was fabulous. even though it was our last day, i bought some apricots and the most delicious melon i've ever tasted. looks something like a cantaloupe on the outside, but smells like perfume and has the sweetest flesh, like honeydew. mmmmmmmmm.
the concert at the 2,000-yr-old herodeon was wonderful. also saw a movie on the rooftop of the theater across the street, in english w/ greek subtitles. what a fun way to spend our last evening, after a delicious dinner at o kostas. the young chef is very skillful and really charming. we told him we were staying at your apartment, and he sent his greetings. he does a fried fish like i have never tasted before. his secret: a light coating of flour on the filet, and then a quick pan fry in olive oil. and lots of oregano. divine! ditto for the greek-style tabbouleh, much different than its israeli counterpart.
yannis, the taxi driver and tour guide, was great. he took us on a half-day athens tour and we really enjoyed his warmth and sweet personality, as well as his considerable knowledge of athens and surrounding areas. he was prompt and courteous, also taking us to and from the airport.
the warmth and friendliness of the greek people were a delight to experience. i hope we can enjoy your beautiful apartment again in the future, when we return to see some of the islands, which we didn't manage to get to this time. thank you again for your hospitality.

Four or us just returned from a fabulous stay at the Heritage House in the Athens. The house was perfectly comfortable, and was in a fantastic location. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the outdoor patio, and the welcome basket equipped with wine and other Greek treats was a very nice touch. Xenia and Babis, the upstairs neighbors, make you feel like family and greeted us with smiles and a pitcher of orange juice upon arrival. The house is just a few blocks away from fantastic cafes, restaurants, and the Acropolis. If you are in Athens for tourist purposes, you cannot ask for a better location. You will not be disappointed with the house, but the true gem of this entire process is Carole.
Carole makes you feel welcome and comfortable from the first time you contact her. She is a wealth of information about Athens (and Greece in general), and she has the competence of a concierge at a 5-star hotel. There is no question that we will stay in one of Carole’s properties on our next trip to Athens.

My students and I, plus one parent and another adult just spent 6 days in Carole and Basil's amazing apartment. The kids, seven 12-13 year-olds loved the place and it worked out perfect for our group. When we weren't out enjoying some Greek food, we were enjoying a nice dinner up on the terrace. Wow, what a view! The grocery store down the street, across from Goodies, was a great place to go. We fell in love with their olives and the people who worked there were so friendly! We had a wonderful time in Athens and the apartment worked out perfectly. Thanks so much!

| I just returned from an 8-night stay (April 1-9) at Carole's amazing apartment. After corresponding with Carole extensively, I had high expectations, but the results were even more fantastic that I imagined. We were a group of 4, one couple and two singles, so the 3 bedrooms were perfect for us. The layout of the apartment was very convenient for socializing while still allowing for privacy. Everything was top-notch and we especially enjoyed the kitchen amenities and the gift basket! We polished off the ouzo the first night and immediately bought more, it was so perfect for sipping on the terrace as the sun went down! The location of the apartment was wonderful, situated in a quiet residential area but close to ALL the action! The grocery store just a few blocks away was wonderful, and we were within walking distance of all the major sites, even Plaka and the Acropolis! Carole's help and recommendations were priceless, as she has true "insider" information to share and does everything she can to make your trip fantastic! We hope to return to Greece soon and would not even THINK of staying anywhere else! |

| We had a 3 day stay in March at Lykovittos view. From the organised pick up from the airport to well stocked larder, everything was as it needed to be. The location is convenient, 15 minutes from Plaka and the Acropolis and allows you to be in and out as you need to - which was important for us with 2 toddlers in the group. It was cold while we were there, but the balcony would be fantastic in Spring. The apartment is perfect for small families as a "home away from home" |

What an amazing time we had on our first trip to Greece, made even better by staying at Carole and Basil's apartment on Imitou St. in Athens.
We could definitely see the Acropolis from the balcony, as well as Mt. Lykvaticos. On New Year's Eve, we had the best view in town of the fire works over the mountain!
The apartment is beautiful, and more than adequate for the four of us. Everything is new and clean and well kept, the kitchen is well stocked and outfitted for in-house cooking. And the beds were really comfortable.
The location is great, making a walk to the National Gardens, Acropolis, and through the Plaka a pleasant (yet full) day's journey. Starbucks just a block away! Movie theater across the street. Plenty of supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants in the area. No one has starved in Greece for over 50 years!
We'll definitely be back! |

| This was my second time staying in an Athens penthouse apartment. The first time was last year in April during Greek Easter and I just returned in August with my parents and friends for a three week tour of Greece. After three years of living in Madrid and traveling throughout Europe I realize what a luxury it was to stay in these apartments. By the end of our trip I was calling it our home and didn't want to leave. The balcony was my favorite place to eat yogurt and honey in the morning with a frappe. We were in walking distance to any place we wanted to go within Athens. I even went for a run and a tour of all the surrounding parks and later up the Lykavittos for an amazing view of the city at night and in the morning. |

We stayed at the Beta apartment for 3 nights in July 2006. Airport pickup by Yannis was great. What a nice fellow. We were immediately struck by how nice this newly renovated apartment is. Everything in it is new. Size-wise it is small, but a decent size for a city apartment, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen with counter and bar stools and small living room. The brand-new appliances are fabulous, especially the full-size washer and dryer.
Carole has stocked it with everything we could possibly need: laundry detergent, bounce sheets, paper towels, new towels, Frommer’s and Fodor’s and several other guide books, etc. There is also a welcome basket with toast, nutella, small tins of Greek specialties, wine, orange juice. Then, there are instructions on how to make a frappe, along with the ingredients. There is ouzo in the fridge and an information sheet on ouzo. Also, a map of the area with a couple of nearby restaurants marked on it. Of all the places we’ve ever rented, and there have been a lot over the years, this apartment stands out for the thoughtfulness put into renovating and equipping it.
We enjoyed the souvlaki place down the street, which Carole recommended. Also, George and Athina's restaurant has wonderful home-style Greek cooking. At lunch, you walk into the kitchen and choose your food from the huge pots on the stove. In the evening, there is a wonderful rooftop terrace, where the view of the Acropolis is amazing. |

We stayed at 12 Aigypto from 9/23/06 thru 9/28/06. Yannis picked us up at the airport and took us directly to the apartment. He arranged transportation for us to Glyfada and he took us back to the airport. He was very helpful. We highly recommend him. We found the accommodation to be excellent. The pictures didn't lie. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked with basic spices. It is really quite spacious especially since it has 2 floors. Having a washer was great and I loved being able to dry my clothes outside on the line that was provided. Just as the locals did by the way. We enjoyed all that the neighborhood had to offer and found the grocery shopping good. NOTE: The AB takes major credit cards. I had difficulty using my AMEX Euro travellers checks. We took the Sight Seeing bus to get our bearings the first day and found it to be a great way to see many sites quickly and then decide which you wanted to go see for extended times. The apartment is very close to this bus stop and also the metro. The metro is very clean and fast. We also took the trolly from Glyfada to Plaka for 0.60 E, yes a mere 0.60. Incredible and while it wasn't as fast as the metro, it was very nice to see the sites and didn't take more than 45 minutes. One of the best parts of the trip was to Glyfada where we linked up with the Aegean Divers to do a shore dive. The operation is very professional, the dive was easy (entry required some walking over rocks but not problem). Visibilty was 8 meters and water temp. ~22 C. We saw many fishes at the site called "Rock Pile". Had a 67 minute dive with max depth 15 meters. Boat dives are done on the weekends only.
Again, we shall return to Greece and we will stay at one of Carole's and Basil's apartments. Great views etc, can go on an on. We really enjoyed the home away from home. |

I am happy to share our experiences staying in Carole's penthouse apartment in Athens. It is well worth the cost. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to shops, eaterys, neighborhood market (Tues) and the metro. I was a little daunted by the distances on the map before we arrived in Athens, but found the walking to be quite easy, and preferred.
The apartment is most comfortable and is wonderful to go back to in the late afternoon to relax without being on top of one another (we had 5 stay there). I couldn't imagine staying in a hotel or a smaller place. Carole has thought of everything in outfitting the apartment, and you are greeted with a welcome basket of thoughtful treats and necessities (coffee!); all sorts of recommendations about where to eat, what to visit; maps, guides, you name it. Carole and Basil have shared much of themselves. We felt pampered. I haven't even mentioned the most wonderful feature...the rooftop view of the Acropolis! You will enjoy going up each evening to watch the sunset and the lights come up as you drink a glass of wine. Even if it is cool when you go, you will want to put on jackets to go up for the 'event'.
The neighbors in the building never complained, and I know we were noisy on at least one occassion - when we had 16 students join us for the evening viewing from the rooftop. Obviously we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You would not be disappointed to stay at Carole and Basil's.
Oh, we loved the neighborhood markets, and cooked our evening meal each night. Carole has even appointed the kitchen to such an extent that we had everything we needed and then some.

It is sad for me and my family to think it has been nearly one year since we were in Athens. We stayed at Aigypto (please excuse spelling) apartment for a month and a half and have nothing put praises to sing of the place. The ad was completely accurate. We immediately felt at home. Carol and Basil went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to assuring we were happy. It was such an amazing welcome to a truely special country.
I will list a few of our favorite "features" of the apartment and the surroundings. We absolutely LOVED the terrace. I spent countless hours out there and it was glorious. The entire space is very light and airy. And lest I forget the washing machine. Sounds trite, but when you have an infant being able to wash a load at any time was invaluable.
The neighborhood had a lot to offer. I had a favorite bakery "across" the street, a favorite sweet shop that sold ice cream bars that we still dream about, a favority gyro joint "down the block" (sadly, I am blanking on street names), a number of good grocery stores around the corners plus an exceptional one if you are willing to take a 10 minute walk and of course countless coffee houses where people watching became a hobby.
If you haven't gotten the message by now, we really loved staying at this apartment and WHEN we return we hope it is available to rent. |

Carole,
Your apartment was absolutely marvellous and lovely and we all had a fantastic time. I have some digital photos we took that I can send if you want them (we took them to show folks back home our luxurious accommodation). I also got some nice photos of the sunrise and sunset from the roof terrace - again, sing out if your interested to see these.
I was also truly amazed at how much cleaner Athens had become, now they've stopped cars driving down Ermou St and with the introduction of the electric trolley busses. In fact, Athens was truly a delight to return, with the much cleaner air and the whole Olympic feel in full swing. The Greeks did a really marvellous job at organising the venues and the transport etc; despite the negative press they received.
We also got to go out to the Olympic village and again the Greeks have excelled themselves, I believe, at showing true hospitality. None of the Australian athletes we talked to had any complaints about the village and services. I really think that Greece can be proud of what it achieved in hosting a marvellous games (that Opening Ceremony was a total knock-out, I had no idea how anyone could top Sydney's but they did it).
We liked staying at your place so much that were seriously tempted to return to Athens for a normal holiday; don't know when, but someday.
Thanks again and warmest regards

On a quiet residential side street, you will feel like you are living in Athens, not just visiting. And the veranda is a perfect place to relax outdoors after a long day seeing the city. What's more, Carole provides great suggestions for restaurants and markets which you won't find on your own. A class (or two) above any other Athens apartment we were able to find on the web. Don't miss it! |
