Description

This is a spacious apartment in a leafy area right next to Ilisia Park (Pagkrati side) and near the American and British Archaeological schools, the Gennadius Library, the main campus of the University of Athens and just off the museum quarter of Athens. The surrounding area includes, most prominently, the Lyceum of Aristotle and the Lycabettus Hill. The apartment is located next to the hilly Ilisia park and heath in a mostly residential area that is just blocks away from bars, restaurants and grocery shops too, incl. an organic grocery store at a 5-minute walk and a weekly farmers market around the block. This is just a 15-minute walk through the beautiful Vas. Sophias Avenue to the very center of Athens, Syntagma Square. I, as well as previous tenants, have enjoyed the balanced mix of calmness, originality, and urban character of this very charming corner of the center. Pagkrati and Kolonaki centers are both a few minutes' walk away from the apartment. This corner apartment is located in the modernist exposed-concrete building, which is the pride of the neighborhood; with long, spacious balconies and a characteristic spatial arrangement of piloti on the ground floor leading to the backyard. Some important details: There is central heating operating in the evening hours during the winter, with radiators in every room and in the bathroom. Every room has its own air-conditioning unit for cooling in the summer or additional heating in the winter. There is high-speed 200mbps wifi internet. The main double-bed comes with a very comfortable foam mattress. There are two desk areas one in the open-plan 40 square meter lounge area and a second one in the second bedroom. The apartment comes with fully equipped kitchen with stove and oven, and a big fridge with a freezer. Lots of storage space and wardrobes are available too, and bed linen, duvets and towels are all included. Writers, academics and journalists have stayed for months and/or years and have found the atmosphere of the place particularly calming and most suitable for focus and calm.
