Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Suitable for a couple or small group, this apartment ensures a fuss-free stay in the heart of Athens. Navigating the city is easy – the Ampelokipi Metro station is nearby, and if you fancy stretching your legs, there are plenty of green spaces within walking distance. There's an array of restaurants on the doorstep too, but should you want to cook at home, the kitchenette is fully equipped. While the interiors are a little plain for our liking, the double sofa bed in the living area sleeps two guests and the private balcony has enough seating for groups of up to four.

Home truths

    At full occupancy, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area.

    While the bathroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

    You'll be able to check yourself in here.

    Parking in Athens can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

    This home is fitted with a noise sensor to ensure quiet hours are respected (10pm to 8am).

    There are no channels on the TV. Your host provides a Chromecast for streaming.
