Athens City Apartment - Petralona Central Gem

Excellent accommodation in a very good location, very close to the metro station and Monastiraki Square. We used it as a base for exploring Athens and we were very satisfied. The price was very good for a weeklong stay. The apartment has a separate kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a large living room with a dining area. It is comfortable enough to accommodate 4 people. It has two balconies, a small one with a street view, and a large one facing the inner courtyard which allows drying a laundry. The apartment has everything you could need for a longer stay. I would like to mention that we were there in the summer, it was very hot, and the A/C works perfectly, there are two units at two ends of the accommodation, we did not turn it off even at night and the stay was very pleasant. All the recommendations!

There were some construction works going on in the building during our stay, so we were woken up by a drill every morning, but clearly this was temporary and cannot be attributed to the host's fault. Also, the internet could be faster and more reliable.

We visited this location over Easter this year. We needed a stay both for reaching Saint Efraim Monastery and visiting Athens. We spent two nights here and we really appreciated the warm welcome. Regarding the highlights, hats off. Firstly, the host was very attentive – he called us to make sure we had arrived safely and he came to the accommodation to help us resolve an issue; what is more, we kept in touch via WhatsApp (at the beginning, we could not get the hot water to work) and he provided us with a driver who was also very kind. Secondly, the apartment was spacious and beautiful in its own way. The bathroom was very well designed – for example, the towel holder. In short, we had everything we needed. The flat is located near the M1 metro line.

Regarding the drawbacks, I did not identify any major issues. In summary, this place met all our expectations. I recommend this accommodation to anyone, regardless of your plans. Note: however, it is worth noting that Athens is a worn out and disappointing city unfortunately.

The apartment was very clean and very spacious! I could live here full time with the size of it and how they’ve set it up! Our host, Vassilis, was kind enough to pick us up from the bus stop so we didn’t have to walk as far and was very responsive! Theres a massive supermarket a 1 minute walk away and the train line is a 5 minute walk away that takes you right into the centre, to Piraeus port or to the airport!

Nothing!

Very well kept and functional flat in the beautiful neighbourhood of Petralona. It is located literally 200 m away from the Petralona metro station, and 50 m away from a very big supermarket. The flat has autonomous heating with natural gas, and air-conditioners for the summer. Kitchen is decently equipped. Hot water was always available.

The bathroom had no shampoo or shower gel.
