This apartment was the perfect home base from
which to explore Athens. First of all, the huge
rooftop terrace was a garden oasis with an
unbelievable view of the Acropolis. The pictures
don't do the roof terrace justice. The apartment
was well equipped with everything you might need
and very clean. Centrally located, we walked to all
the sights and museums. We only used the
subway, to get to Piraeus port and were easily able
to walk(roll) our suitcases the few blocks to the
Omonia square subway station. This is also where
one of the two supermarkets is located, open until
20:00 but closed on Sunday. (The other is on
Stadiou) The pastry shop and Everest (Athens fast
food) located at Omonia also came in handy. The
apartment was lovely with artistic decorations,
comfortable beds, including the sofa where my son
slept. The air conditioning was a blessing too in
August . The apartment is very quiet as the
building seems to have mostly offices. The
computer and internet access were also very handy.
We feel so lucky to have stayed here and are so
grateful to Evanghelos for sharing this wonderful
apartment oasis with us. Thanks also to Eleni who
went out of her way to reunite us with something
we left in the apartment and Sergios for greeting
and orienting us when we arrived. Warmest
regards, The Newmans |

Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed you place. The garden is amazing! I could have spent days just sitting around up there! The location was perfect as we were able to walk everywhere.The flat was comfortable and the computer and washer were very much appreciated too! Thank you for sharing your place with us. We only wish we had more time there!

The perfect quiet penthouse flat, high above the wonderful buzz of downtown Athens with an amazing private garden terrace and view of the Acropolis.
Thank you Evangelos and Eleni for your wonderful accommodations and helpfulness. |

I originally booked 3 contiguous nights. Much later I
realized that we were in Athens for 1 night
following a trip to Delphi and Meteora and since it
looked available requested an additional night. No
problem with that request and we were told the apt
would be cleaned only after our departure on the
5th day. Eleni, Evanghelos's manager met us at the
metro station and guided us to the apartment,
which helped in a strange city. Left us the key and
we had it through the entire time until we left
Athens the 2nd time. The apartment is cosy and
great and is in a great safe location. While Eleni
didn't know about grocery stores and said they
would be closed past 6, there is one quite close to
the apartment near stadiou st that's open late ( u
come out of the apt bldg on Aristidou, go right,
make first left then first right then walk a couple of
blocks/lights past the square and it's on your
right). The view is terrific from terrace, living
room great, kitchen eminently usable and bedroom
comfortable. Bathroom is very small, but that's like
any in Europe. It's a sizeable walk to the acropolis
district, but through nice areas esp if you go via
syntagma/ermou, or the metro is really close. I
didn't hear any response back on some questions
on where to find something I'd forgotten in the US
that I queried Evanghelos, but this is a small matter
and it was one that I'm not sure he could have
answered. There are no curtains in the apartment
so it is somewhat fishbowl like, but there only
appear to be offices opposite and we never saw a
soul looking in our direction so it still feels private
at night - but if you have phobias about voyeurs,
this may not be the place for you. However, Highly
recommend this place in Athens for a clean
comfortable stay. |

We had a wonderful 4 nts in Athens to finish off our
5 week European holiday. The Penthouse was very
comfortable in a great, quiet location & we did not
need to use public transport at all. Eleni was terrific
- very helpful & nothing was too much trouble! We
left one of our credit cards there & she contacted us
immediately to arrange postage home! She also has
the number of a very good taxi driver that we used
(to & from the airport) & would highly recommend.
A great spot! Thank you for having us! |

| We loved staying in this centrally located apartment. It is well equipt and has everything you need. The highlight for us was the beautiful private roof deck, we loved sitting out there with a glass of wine and enjoying the amazing view across to the Acropolis. |

Dear Evanghelos:
I wanted to write and thank you for the excellent time we had in Greece. Your apartment location was wonderful, and allowed us to do many things in Athens with no difficulty at all.
I am attaching a photograph I took from your roof garden. Feel free to use as you see fit. If you would like a higher resolution version, let me know too.
Sincerely,
Ananth.
p.s. while unpacking I found that we had mistakenly brought back a set of keys with us. Would you like me to mail them back to you? If so, please give me the address and I will do so.
Thanks
A.

We loved your place so so much! Cannot believe you would be willing to share this beautiful place with strangers. Your garden terrace was such a joy to relax and have breakfast, you have created such a gorgeous oasis. We planned on taking public transport to get around the city to see the sights, but we ended up being able to walk to almost everything so that was great.
We took a trip to Hydra, it was wonderful. We are off to Rome, Venice and Tuscany.
Thank you

We ended up staying here longer than originally planned and found the apartment & its location (halfway between Syntagma and Omonia squares) ideal. The owner is very friendly (checks to make sure you have settled in OK) and his apartment has all you need including internet & satellite TV but, best of all, it has a fabulous roof terrace/garden with great views across the city towards the Acropolis!
