Eclectic 4-Bed, 4-Bath Apt in Central Athens - AK1

Apartment AK1 is a spacious and truly eclectic 4-bedroom, 4-bath apartment in a 1930s Bauhaus building in central Athens. Located on the 4th floor and accessible via a charming vintage lift, AK1 blends character, history, and style.

It has a compact, fully equipped kitchen with a lovely dining area. The living room also features a smart TV, so guests can stream using their own accounts.

The vintage lift, dating back to 1937, accommodates two guests and two bags — a little piece of Athens’ past.

From here, you’re only 20 minutes on foot from Monastiraki Square and historic Plaka, 15 minutes from the lively, street-art-filled Psirri, and 15 minutes from the National Archaeological Museum.

Lovely, charming apartment. Jacob was super helpful and accommodating. Somewhat noisy outside being on a busy street. Close to the metro. Hot water needs to be turned on 20 minutes prior to showering and gets much hotter than in the US which was my only concern as the kids nearly scalded themselves. Otherwise our stay was perfect and would definitely book there again.

Last minute stay.

My family and I were on a cruise and wanted to stay an extra few days in Athens. We booked this last minute and the property manager let us check in early. They met us at the house and went over everything with us. We all fell in love with the house. It was different from what we're use to in America, but it was charming and we couldn't stop looking at all the details. Definitely would stay again if I ever make it back to Greece.

Room for everyone

The host was wonderful and answered questions quickly and accurately. Wifi worked consistently and everyone had their own space. For a group of colleagues, this was perfect.The neighborhood has a lot of homeless and open drug use but no one bothered us as we walked to and from the Metro. May not be ideal for children.

Quirky large apartment in gritty area of Athens

Even though there are quite a few hotels nearby, the Athens govt has decided to let the stoned and emaciated druggies hang out on the side streets surrounding this building which gave everyone pause as we drove through the street to the apt. We however appreciated being close to the Metro but still walkable distance to all the tourist destinations of Athens. Inside (building has two locked doorways before foyer) was pretty old but safe...4 stifling hot flights of stairs (the elevator seems sketchy) we appreciated the very cool AC each time we returned to the apt. I loved the size-4 bedrooms with 4 baths so the price was right for nearness to attractions, cleanliness and size but having to take into account the sketchy nearby neighborhood. Would recommend for adults only and those comfortable with "big city" life. Very San Fran vibes if you've ever walked near some of their homeless encampments.

Unique stay with great communication!

We had a great stay at this property. We were a group of 6 adults and the four rooms were just the right amount of space for us. We had some complications and delays with our arrivals to Athens, and the management company was very flexible and helpful in welcoming all of us and getting us checked in. We also booked our taxis to and from the airport through the hosts, which was very convenient. As other reviews mention, the neighborhood is not the best. We strongly recommend walking only on the main roads until you get further into the city. But there were no security issues with the property-- we felt totally safe in the unit. The unit is very close to a convenient metro stop and about a 20 minute walk to popular sightseeing locations. There are some quirks with the electronics and water in the unit, but nothing that detracted from our stay. Definitely recommend staying here if you consider yourself city-smart.

Big roomy apartment

Giannis was a fantastic host! Gave a very informative talk on arrival, gave us late checkout upon departure and organised a taxi big enough for our mob on departure. The apartment was great. A luxury to have 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Great showers and very comfortable beds. Kitchen was a bit awkward yet had everything one would need. The location was ‘interesting’, there were some dodgy happenings going on down the side street but since the apartment is on the main road, none of it really bothered us. It is only a couple of blocks walk to great bars, restaurants, shops etc. All in all we had a great stay here and would def recommend.

Heavy Drug Use

We chose not to enter the apartment after driving through the surrounding neighborhood. There were serval homeless people living on the adjacent street doing drugs. This was not a safe place for our family to stay so we immediately left upon arrival. The listing did not provide an accurate description of the neighborhood. Also, the property manager did not show up on time to meet us at the property. We would appreciate a partial refund since we never entered the apartment, but our request was declined. We definitely do not recommend this apartment for a family stay.

We found the property to be an excellent value, with the photos on the site matching the reality we encountered. The management staff was very professional, competent, and responsive. The building elevator could use some attention, but still worked. The neighborhood around the corner was a bit concerning, but nothing that could not be overcome, and nothing to do with the actual apartment itself.

Convenient Central Athens Apartment

The apartment itself was just as expected and functional for our group of six adults. It was nice to each have our own bedrooms and bathrooms. We all packed light so it was great to have the washing machine as well. Lia scheduled transportation for us to and from the airport, and Jakob met us at the apartment to help us get settled. The apartment is conveniently located near Omonia Metro station so it was easy to get around Athens. We only walked along the main streets around the apartment as the smaller alleys were inhabited by the homeless. Thanks Lia, Jakob and team for a great stay in Athens!

Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms

We were very unfamiliar with Athens when making plans for this trip, so our decision to go with this apartment was a guess. Our priority was having enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have privacy while also being walkable to the popular sites. This apartment suited us well as we all had plenty of room and privacy. Three of the bedrooms had ensuite baths and one had the bath room one room away but with the others all being private, this didnt cause is any problems. The heating/cooling units looked brand new and worked well. There is also a clothes washer which was a hit with my group. Just before leaving for the trip, I saw a YouTube video that said this neighborhood was to be avoided. In the end, we saw some poor people (one would expect in any city) but the main streets were well-lit and we never felt unsafe on the larger streets in Omonia, day or night. Dont let people scare you from this location, it was fine. One of the bedrooms has bunk beds so is ideal for families or singles traveling in groups. I will add that not only are there 4 bathrooms, they are very nice bathrooms. I would, however suggest caution to anyone who is not sure-footed or has a disability...the elevator would not accommodate a wheelchair, there are 77 steps to the apartment, and about half of the lights in the stairwell were burned out during our stay. My husband and I are old-ish and still did fine but again, would not suggest this option to a disabled person.

Fabulous apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, large apartment. It had 4 bedrooms (3 with large beds (at least queen sized) and one with bunk beds. All 4 had their own bathroom with shower. We were a few blocks from Omonia Plaza(?), where there were excellent bakeries, a metro station, and is located on Athina street, which connects to the Acropolis. We had an excellent stay, and enjoyed the recommendations of restaurants. Communication with the managers was great.

Early Christmas in Athens

We have stayed in this apartment twice now, both times in December when we come to visit friends for an early Christmas celebration. The neighborhood is a little run down and can be noisy (big city noise) when we're trying to sleep. Besides that, the apartment is everything it's advertised to be, and it's perfect for a week long visit. Having the 4 bathrooms saves a lot of time in the mornings when everybody is trying to get ready! Only a short walk to Omonia Square and access to all the activities Athens has to offer. In short, it's clean, comfortable and makes access to Athens affordable.
