Deluxe central loft near Acropolis
- The Space
Dear friends I am proud to offer you my luxurious apartment for rental.
First of all it's the location which makes it unbeatable. It's located exactly in the city center, on the most famous pedestrian road of Athens (Ermou str) which starts from the Greek Parliament and the square of the constitution and ends at the Monastiraki square where the heart of old Athens beats. This area is for sure the best place to stay when visiting the city for many reasons.
Transportation is a main reason. The area is very well serviced by many metro stations, bus and tram. There are at least 3 metro stations near the apartment including the central metro station of the city, where the airport train arrives and the bus from the airport as well. There is also the one and only tram line of the city departing close by, which it can transports you to the south suburbs of Athens, where the best beaches are.
What I like the most of this area is the fact that it is always alive, full of things to do, on a walking distance. Whatever you might need is on your feet. All the best brands of the big chain shops are down below your window. Acropolis is a 5-10 mins walk. Plaka, the small village under the Acropolis, is practically your neighborhood, right across the corner. Movies, theaters, Acropolis museum, the best restaurants of the city, all are around.
Lately this area became the place to be, for its nightlife as well. The hippiest bars and tavernas of the city are located here. This is the place, us Greeks, we go out the most, during the nights as well.
Another plus of staying here is security. Being so close to the Parliament and the central square of the city means that Police is always around.
The truth is, that there are no new apartments in this area as it is the preserved old historical center. Nearby there are the great big luxury hotels of Athens, like Great Bretagne Hotel and King George Hotel, but as you can imagine they offer this privilege, staying at this very central location, at a high price.
When it comes to my apartment, I want to mention that it is one of the few apartments of the area that it was totally renovated from the beginning, on 2011. Being a civil engineer myself, I changed everything, I only kept the exterior walls, and I provided a first class renovation as this was going to be my residence. So you can expect all materials new inside, although the building from the outside is old. There is an elevator, renovated as well, in the lobby leading you on the second floor, where at the moment nobody else is living, so you have the whole floor for yourself. The renovation I talked about, included new double glazιers windows, which they provide total soundproofing. When the windows are closed you cannot believe you stay over the most crowded road of the city. All electronic equipment is new, providing you with a lot of small luxuries like the coffee machine, the 32΄ PLASMA TV, the great PIONEER sound system with the IPHONE docking station, the DVD PLAYER, the new CLOTHES' WASHING MACHINE. There is even a DISH WASHING MACHINE for your comfort. FREE WIFI is obviously provided, I know you cannot live without it :-)
The temperature of the apartment is well adjusted with autonomous heating system , you can adjust electronically your ideal temperature for the winter and use the A/C unit for the summer. Warm water is always provided within the same system. The place provides accommodation for 4 persons, there is a king size bed for 2 and a sofa which becomes a double bed for the rest. There is everything you might need inside the apartment, bed linen , plates , cooking equipment, towels, everything .....
All of them are of good quality and new.I believe you will enjoy my beloved city and staying at my place will contribute on this. So don't miss this rare opportunity to stay in one of the few luxurious lofts of this unbeatable location providing you all those comforts in such a low price !!!

Overall Guest Satisfaction

The Loft is spacious, easy to live in and has everything needed for a short stay. Lovely care over bed linen and changes over the week made us feel special and pampered.
The very central location of Fotis' Loft helped us make the most if day visits around the city, as well as being able to make the most of the nightlife.
Fotis had left us lots if helpful information on where to go and how to get there around Athens.February 2014
Response from Fotis:Thanks Blaise !! Happy travels :-)

I had visited Fotis' apartment with my wife as part of our honeymoon and I couldn't have asked for a better start. Athens was the first city we visited as part of our trip and it was the best experience among the four places we stayed.
Fotis gave us precise directions to reach his apartment and also shared the exact location on (website hidden)Maps which was extremely helpful. He personally spoke to the taxi driver and explained him where to drop us. Christine welcomed us into the apartment and told us everything we needed to know about the apartment after which there was no need to contact the hosts again.
The location is probably the best location possible in the whole of Athens - 5 min walk from the Syntagma Square and Monastiraki Square. Syntagma Square is right opposite the Parliament and has metro, bus and tram stations. Ermou street, on which the apartment lies, has a plethora of restaurants and taverns. There is a supermarket 2 min walk from the apartment. The street also has innumerable shops to buy apparels, etc. If expensive brands do not fit your taste or budget, the Monastiraki Square has the Flea Market from where we bought souvenirs for ourselves and family. Monastiraki Square also has some really great taverns to relish on authentic Greek food.
The apartment is equipped with a coffee-maker, water-heater, microwave, fridge, washing-machine, induction-stove which made us feel quite at home. The fridge had bread and jam, cream, eggs, there were tea-bags, coffee beans, sugar, which meant we did not have to go out for breakfast at all. There was a map of Athens which helped us decide how to spend the three days we were in Athens. Fotis gave a complimentary 10 min fish pedicure at his Fish Spa which was awesome, and also a 10% discount on other treatments.
This apartment is highly recommended and I would definitely stay at this apartment on my next visit to Athens!

Response from Fotis:Thanks a lot Sagar for this detailed review !! Happy Travels my friend :-)

This was a very easy air bnb. We were met outside of the apartment, introduced to the area and to everything in the apartment. Everything was comfortable and clean.
All of the reviews talking about the apartment being centrally located and on a Main Street are on point. The street during the day is full of action. The street at night quiets down nicely. We were able to get to everything in approximately 15-20 minutes. We felt safe in the neighborhood and would not hesitate recommending it to anyone.
Fotis and friends were very helpful, kind and easygoing. A good place to stay in Athens for a visit!

It was a perfect stay! Location is awesome. If it's your first time in Athens, this place is just for you! Fotis is very helpful at all times of the stay. Thanks, again, Fotis!

The Loft was ideally located and well appointed. The perfect launching point for all of our adventures in Athens! Fotis and his people were extremely helpful. The only negative was the mosquitos inside the unit. Insect repellent was kindly provided, but we assumed that there would be no need for it...in the middle of winter...with all the windows closed. We were wrong and were covered with bites!

Response from Fotis:Hey Jenifer, thanks for the review. You see, there is a reason I provide insect repellent. Next time follow my advice, like all other guests did and there will be no problem, I can assure you.

The apartment was lovely and really close to everything. Transport links were great with the major sights only a couple of stops away on the metro. We didn't get to meet Fotis but his friend let us into the flat and was really helpful with suggestions of things to do and locations of all the shops etc. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great flat in a great location.

Brilliant apartment!! Cosy and modern, clean with literally anything you may need (even if you hadn't thought of it!).
Superb location, within very close walking distance to plaka and acropolis (if you don't want to walk, take bus 230 across from parliament - took me awhile to figure that out with two elderly with me). Close to all public transport for day trips, including Delphi.
Fotis has outshone all other apartments! Thank you!December 2013
Response from Fotis:Thanks so much for this amazing review !!!There is also the option to catch the metro from the parliament , if you do not want to go Acropolis by foot. One stop and you 're there. Happy travels !!
