A practical apartment in an ideal location, this pad puts sightseeing at the top of any agenda. Syntagma Metro Station is just a four-minute walk away, allowing for plenty of exploring and sampling of the local restaurants – helpful given the compact nature of the home’s kitchenette. While two guests will need to share the sofa bed at full occupancy, a long balcony is a nice touch, and the dining table can easily double as a laptop-friendly deskspace should you need to catch up on work.


Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*At capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free on request.
*Home comforts are lacking here. We think it's best suited to those travelling for work. If you're travelling on business, you won't find a desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*The kitchenette is compact and better suited to light bites. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, however.
*We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Athens on foot or by public transport instead.
