"The place was as described in the listing. It was clean, nicely decorated, with everything needed in the kitchen. The app to access the apartment didn’t always work but you also had the option to use the pin pad, so it wasn’t really an issue. There were plenty of places within a short walking distance to shop and eat. Public transportation was also within a short walk. The metro station from the airport was within 5 minutes of the apartment. "

"Oh my gosh! I have never been so sad to leave a hotel before. My husband and I travel extensively, and our stay at Anthology of Athens FAR SURPASSED any property we've stayed at before. The staff -- at every level -- is incredible. They all go way above and way beyond. Whatever management is doing at the hiring level, they are doing it right. The culture is one of pride and hospitality, and no corner is cut. The restaurant -- The Botany -- was our favourite in all the Plaka region. Amazing views...
