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

Located in the well-heeled Athens neighbourhood of Koukaki, this home's exposed brick walls lend it plenty of charm, creating an ideal space for aperitifs before a night out of fine dining and bar hopping. Designed for extended stays, the home's kitchen offers plenty of space for cooking, and the bedroom has a desk for work – though with up to three guests on sofa beds, it won't suit everyone. For explorers, the location is perfect for walking to Athens' most famous landmarks.

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. As the home is located within a hotel building, the entrance is shared with other guests.

    There's a dedicated desk in the bedroom here, should you need to catch up on work during your stay.

    There's only one proper bed so at full capacity three guests will make use of pull-out beds – it will be tight though so this may be best suited to children.

    Your host can provide a cot for little ones.
