    Michalis let us store bags before and after our official check-in times and left cold water, snack items, and sweet donkey decorations for the kids to enjoy. The location couldn't have been better and the balcony was perfect for feeling at home...

    Location excellent for Athens attractions. Host was helpful when there was a mix-up with taxi pick-up from the airport. We hope to return for a longer stay in future.

The Acropolis and major archaeological sites are within walking distance, as is Monastiraki, Plaka, and Gazi, with lots of things to explore. The 4th floor, a 107 sq.m. brand new traditional apartment is bright and peaceful. Thissio, our neighbourhood is considered one of Athens' safest and most peaceful. The building is on a quiet pedestrian street 3 minutes walking distance to and from the Metro. Fully refurbished as from June 2024, it is appreciated by both families and groups of friends. 4 persons can sleep comfortably in beds and 2 on a platform bed in the living room, plus there is a baby crib*. The apartment aims to offer a wholesome experience of comfort and beauty; its design, materials and decoration encourage a sensory experience. Managed by Michalis, a private host that also lives in the area, we offer an insider's experience of living in Athens today. The apartment's layout consists of two bedrooms, a large kitchen-living & dining room, and three restrooms (bathroom, toilet, shower room). The family room features a day bed/platform bed and is equipped with a small book collection and kid's toys. There are balconies on both sides for guests to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink outdoors. In all rooms the air conditioning units and the glass doors to the balcony are newly installed, as is a solar panel. Mattresses, bed sheets and kitchen utensils and the 32" smart TV set are new or mostly new. Business travelers can depend on a fast and reliable dual wifi connection and a variety of comfortable working furniture. Fully equipped for Families. They are not to miss anything they have back at home. Please contact host Michalis for additional information on the apartment, the neighbourhood and the city of Athens. | *optional Baby Furniture Set (pls. see photo gallery) at an additional price, paid in cash on arrival. It consists of: large baby crib, baby food chair, baby bath tub, and folding stroller. Please order for it a week before your arrival.
Welcome to Friends & Family! I am Michalis, your host and also an artist. I am a local and I tend to the apartment in person in tandem with Passa, a meticulous cleaner I am lucky to work with. I usually greet my guests and show them the apartment in person. I can answer your questions, if any, and I will be happy to share insights and tips. Keep in mind that I live and work around the corner, and that I don't mind to be reached if my guests need me! The apartment's design and most of the original art you will see in the apartment has been created by me.
A walking person's delight! One advantage of this apartment is its location. You will be staying close to every important site of interest; The Acropolis and major archaeological sites are within walking distance, as is Plaka, Monastiraki and Ermou str. -the downtown area for shopping- and also the nightlife spots of Gazi and the Technopolis. The neighbourhood, Thissio -also Thesseion- is considered one of the most pretty areas of central Athens. It is a safe & genuine neighbourhood, part of old Athens at the heart of the city's footpath grid for pedestrians, right next to the great promenade connecting archaeological sites, and one of Athens' rare bicycle networks. Thissio remains unspoiled from by the intense 'turistification' and gentrification that Koukaki and Exarcheia are unfortunately going through. The address is quiet. The pedestrian street excludes the street traffic you would meet elsewhere.
