A.P.衞城景觀公寓 (A.P. Acropolis View Apartments)

Can't recommend enough. Owner went above and beyond - even leaving a surprise birthday treat dessert for my daughter. The location is fantastic. Able to walk to all the sites and round the corner from great restaurants, bars and shops. Few minutes walk from metro station which takes you directly to the airport. Everyday our room was not only cleaned and tidied but glasses of wine left for us. Breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the Acropolis was amazing. Breakfast is served in a basket with coffee, juice, fresh fruit, bread, pastries,mini meat and salad baguette sandwiches, yoghurt, cereal, cake, jam, honey and option for fresh cooked eggs, neat and cheese. Also will leave packed breakfast in your fridge the night before if leaving early. Will be recommending AP Apartments to anyone I know going to Athens. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This place is quite unusual. My room was upgraded so that I had a suite over two floors, with a small private pool on another lower level. Absolutely every convenience had been considered, some extras might verge on overkill (bog roll tied up with a ribbon for example). The room looked amazing on first inspection, but I quite quickly realised the smell of the pool was so strong it stung my eyes, and the sound of the ventilation unit was quite a roar. There was only one small openable window on the mezzanine level next to the bed and I had to sleep with that open as wide as possible. Bed was extremely comfortable, I had to turn off the pool ventilator unit in the middle of the night because it kept waking me up, but once I had done that and the smell of baking bread entered the room from a bakery down the road I slept like a log. Staff were really nice and friendly, but they are working with quite difficult circumstances and perhaps unnecessarily. The kitchen is on the bottom floor and breakfast is served on the 5th floor roof (from which you can see the Parthenon) breakfast is a little awkward as you get a huge wicker basket 🧺 full of food plus crepes, plus omelette, plus tuna sandwich, a whole baguette (some more little ribbons), and I am not sure anyone can eat as much as is provided, and the server had to keep travelling up and down in the one person elevator. Probably would be better to ask guests what they would like to have for breakfast out of the options available and have a coffee/tea station upstairs. There is the option to take lunch in your room - for which the picnic basket concept makes a lot more sense. Seems like there should be a way to make the place feel more efficient and common sensible. I did get the feeling that they might have only just opened and are finding their feet, so I hope this review will be useful - certainly was a generous accommodation and staff are working very hard to make sure guests have the best possible experience.
