Accessible Luxury

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this apartment. It is a beautiful and relaxing space. Every little detail of the space is incredible and it is a very special place. We loved the expansive patio that was like a zen garden with beautiful plants in the middle of Athens. Alena the owner is so helpful and kind and made our stay so warm and inviting. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable and that isn’t something you can ever get from a hotel. The apartment is only a block from the beach and you can walk along the beach and swim there. There are many restaurants and shops in the area including Alena’s bakery and candy shop on the ground floor of the building where we enjoyed some amazing gelato and chocolates. We can’t say enough positive things about our stay at affordable luxury. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

There really was nothing bad at all. As is the case with all of Athens, the apartment is in the heart of the city, as expected you will hear cars honking outside, music from nearby clubs at times, and general city noises.

The accommodations were even more stunning in person. Elena, the host, treated me like family. She even provided handmade chocolates and a floral liqueur made from the flowers in the garden plus a fabulous bottle of wine upon my arrival. She went out of her way to accommodate a vegan breakfast which was plentiful and delightful. She’s an interior designer and even owned the bakery downstairs, she is truly talented and lovely. She also provided transport to and from the airport! Next time I may have her drop me off at the ferry instead:) there is a ferry terminal less than 10 minutes away. This was a great service as in talking to local tourist, It can sometimes be tricky to get cab service from the airport, depending on the time. The location was great. I was able to watch the sunrise at the beach and there are really great restaurants in the area within walking distance. I traveled solo and felt perfectly safe getting my steps in during the evening.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Mention spéciale pour la grande gentillesse, la bienveillance et la générosité de l’accueil d’Elena, qui a su créer un lieu unique qui porte sa signature. Une visite à son magasin au coin de la rue s’impose.

Exceptional stay from start to finish. The apartment is beautiful, perfectly designed, and feels like home. It’s located right above the hostess’s bakery, and she truly spoiled us with delicious goodies and thoughtful touches. She went above and beyond with her kindness and care—we felt like family. Absolutely perfect. Highly recommend! Thank you, Elena. Wishing you nothing but great success—so well deserved. 🙏🏻❤️🌸

Nothing! Everything was perfection!
