Heart of Athens.Within a 10-minute walk of this Athens City Centre apartment, you'll find Ermou Street and Monastiraki Flea Market. Acropolis and Syntagma Square are also within 2 miles (3 km).
We are honoured to introduce our latest and 5th apartment (2023), especially designed to offer comfort as well as accessibility, so much needed in Athenian short-term rentals, for leisure or business trips.
The apartment: We are happy to inform prospective guests that the apartment fully complies with accessibility standards, served by an elevator and accessed from the street without stairs.
It was carefully designed to offer convenience and comfort to any traveler with or without disability needs. It offers a spacious bedroom and convenient closet, a fully accessible bathroom, a living space with sofa bed, a second full bathroom and kitchen bench. A cute little green rooftop planted with care embraces one's relaxing time in the bedroom.
The building: Note - The building's entrance and elevator doors are wide enough for wheelchairs but not automatic. Travelers with mobility needs may need to be accompanied just for these two doors. We are pleased to have our office located at the ground floor next to the building entrance to offer assistance, tips and ideas to any visitor.
More about our effort: Unlike most of the newest constructions in Athens, we have invested in renewable resources for the entire building : Geothermal energy, recently replaced by heat pumps and solar energy. Our aim is to guarantee an absolute heating and cooling effect with full autonomy per apartment, through an under-floor system (for long-term stays) and fan coils in every room for full autonomy per bedroom, plus hot running water at all hours, and the heating of the swimming pool at the building's rooftop (exclusively offered to guests of the A.U.R.A. Penthouse).
Visitors’ comments for all A.U.R.A. properties primarily focus on three major advantages: Quality accommodation, ideal location and a hospitable host/owner, supported by an admirable team.
A few phrases from multiple reviews partly explain it.
“The location was fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for more from the accommodation…”
“Marianne was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The apartment was quiet and had everything we needed, plus it was within walking distance of everything. We will definitely be coming back.”
“It was very convenient that each room could have separate beds for good rest and that each room had its own bathroom. Pleasant for privacy and a big time-saver! The location is superb. It is located in a quiet pedestrian street with some nice (wine) bars and restaurants just across from the apartment, where we went every evening.”
“Marianne made our stay effortless and memorable. I have not found better hospitality anywhere. I highly recommend Marianne and this apartment if you are planning to visit Athens.”
Other things to note: • To further complement our guests’ comfort we have created a privately owned and secure storage facility just across our building’s entrance. No need to worry about early arrivals into Athens or late departures as it may be accessed by code. • Parking is offered on the premises, upon request and based on availability. • The booking rate is for two guests. There is an extra charge of 40€ per guest per night. Prospective guests are requested to include the final number of guests in their inquiry.
New taxes were introduced in Greece recently, for all reservations made after 01.01.2024. As a result the total booking price is affected. More specifically; • A 13% V.A.T. is added to the booking price. • A Transient Occupancy Tax (0.75%) is included in the booking price for all reservations made before September 25th, 2025. • A Climate Crisis Resilience Fee (0.50€ or 1.50€ / per night depending on the season), is required to be paid at the end of the stay. - As per January 1st, 2025 the Climate Crisis Resilience Fee is modified from 0.50€ to 2€ and from 1.50€ to 8€ and is included in the total booking price for all reservations made between December 1st, 2024 and September 25th, 2025.
• The apartment fits up to five visitors by adding an extra single bed in the bedroom and having two people in the sofa bed. For preferred bedding accommodation please refer to the following name codes: Keramus for the living room (sofa bed) and Lithos for the bedroom (accessible) - Set as king size, or two single beds or three single beds. • Quiet hours prevail in Greece by law between 14:30-17:30 and 22:00-07:30 which all citizens need to respect. By booking this property guests are confirming that they are aware of the house rules and agree to respect them.
