Live in Athens, Psyrri Central Apartments

We were referred to Thanos and his team at "Live in Athens" from Sebi the Tour Guide's "Greece Explained" Videos on YouTube. We booked based on this recommendation. From the moment we booked to the moment we left to come home, Thanos and the team at "Live in Athens" treated us with the greatest of care and service. They were able to line up car hires to pick us up from the cruise terminal and to take us to the airport after our trip. They were able to accommodate a super early check-in and provide us with additional supplies upon check-in. Top notch service. The apartment was an absolute dream. It had a balcony that looked upon the Acropolis at a fraction of the price that other places were charging. The location was amazing....it was away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds but, a quick walk to restaurants and the Acropolis ticket office/gate. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and a great place to relax. We will be staying here on our next Athens trip and highly recommend it to others staying in Athens for a short while. 10/10...highly recommend!!!

The apartment we rented was the Split Level Penthouse with Acropolis View #09. This apartment was located in the centre of the Psiri district, ideally situated in close proximity to many restaurants and bars, and an easy, short walk to Monastriraki metro stop. This central location in within walking distance to the majority of attractions in Athens, including the acropolis, the various museums and other archeological sites. The drawback of the central location is the noise at night of the many bars and restaurants in close proximity. Not too bad in the winter when we could keep all the windows closed! And there is air-con so one could probably do so in the summer and still keep cool. In winter, the heating is via radiators, but we found that they didn't always work properly. The one in the principle bedroom would not turn on at all, only finally working on our the last night of our 5-night stay. The suite was spacious (although the living room was rather narrow), spread over two floors with lots of separation between the living spaces and the bedroom. There were two full bathrooms with good showers. The kitchen was fully equipped and functional, making self-catering easy (there are good supermarkets within a few blocks walk and the central market is just a bit further). There were 3 outside spaces (balconies or roof-top terrace), affording a small, peek-a-boo view of the acropolis between neighbouring buildings from the topmost one. Access was through a keypad controlled entrance from the main street and elevator to the door to the suite. Security felt good. We would definitely stay here if we return to Athens.

The entire team was super responsive and friendly, and the cleaning staff were great! The location is in a very fun area - lots of restaurants, bars and shopping at our doorstep! Some nights, the restaurant across the way plays live music which you can enjoy from your room. The bed was super comfy and the kitchen was well-maintained.

We stayed at 10 Navarchou Apostoli str, 10554, Athens in Apartment 11. The location is great and in a very safe neighborhood. We read a lot of reviews of other places where it was not safe to go out at night and that was not the case here. We felt safe at all times. There were plenty of restaurants right outside the front door, super close to the main square and metro stops. There was a transit strike that disrupted our travel plans on the day we were supposed to check out. Unfortunately, Live in Athens was already booked up and we could not extend our stay. The staff offered to hold our luggage and let us use their cafe for as long as we wanted to find new accommodations. The staff was great and very friendly. I can't stress enough, I nice and helpful they were. The apartment was very clean and fully stocked. The shower was a little small for even a small person and you have to heat the water for 30 minutes before a hot shower. Not the end of the world but something to note. All in all, we highly recommend Live in Athens.

They were very organized and knew when we would arrive. They happily took us in early as the room was ready. They provide great information to make your visit easier. It is on a great location, close to your choice of restaurants, coffee and bars. Shopping markets were a quick walk and grocery stores were within walking distance as well. If you will be visiting the Acropolis, this is a great place to stay. It is a 15-20 minute walk and saves you the hassle of parking. If you do rent a car, the staff provide convenient parking options just minutes away.

Quiet location with restaurants and convenience store just around the corner, clean and spacious apartment, wonderful beds, easy travel from the airport. Within walking distance to the Acropolis and other sights.
