J&A Luxury Residence — Hotel in Athens

Perfect city stay in wonderful apartment in great location

We had a wonderful week at the J& A Luxury Residence in Athens. John and his wife Xenia are very lovely hosts and make you feel very welcome, comfortable and at home. The apartment is beautifully decorated, and all the appliances are of high quality. The furniture is modern but the whole apartment feels very homy and cozy. The pictures you see on the internet reflect exactly what the apartment looks like. The two bathrooms are very handy; everything works perfectly, including the water pressure in the shower. The en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom is a bit small, but very functional – (the spacious bathroom in the hall with its big walk-in-shower makes up for it). We are a family of four (two teenage boys) and appreciated our separate spaces very much. There is air condition in both bedrooms as well as in the living room (even though we did not need A/C since we stayed here in February; but it can also be used as additional heating if needed). The mattresses of the beds are very comfortable – also the ones in the twin bedroom. We had a very good sleep at night. Even though the flat is situated in a busy road, the noises coming from the street are not excessive. The closets in the two bedrooms are big and offer enough space for clothes to be hung and to be folded and put on shelves – simply perfect. The kitchen is very well equipped, the only thing missing might be a dishwasher, but that did not bother us too much as we ate out almost all the time during our stay – the location of the apartment is perfect: good restaurants and bars are only two steps away. We were able to walk everywhere by foot (Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Agora, Plaka, Psyri, Syntagma square, the Olympic stadium, a.s.o – everything is reachable by foot within max. 20/25 minutes). We only used public transportation to get to the airport - also on arrival: the train (metro blue line no. 3) takes you directly to Monastiraki Square and then it’s a five minutes’ walk to the apartment. And if you wish to go to the seaside (e.g. Vouliagmeni) you need to take public transportation, otherwise we did everything by foot. There is a coffee machine in the kitchen and some capsules are also provided. The fridge is spacious, there is an oven as well as a microwave. There are enough dishes for 4 people – everything is impeccable. The apartment was extremely clean on arrival. There is also a washing machine/dryer which was greatly appreciated. The flat has also a safe in one of the closets, but we felt very save in the apartment and hardly never used it. Dear John and Xenia, thank you so much for making our stay in your beautiful city even more special – we had an incredible time in Athens, also...

Fantastic apartment in the heart of Athens. Perfect for a family of four.

The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos, but the listing doesn't do justice to the quality of the apartment. Everything in the apartment is very high quality. The location could not be better as it is very centrally located. We walked everywhere and always felt safe. We would absolutely stay here again when returning to Athens.

John and Alex were both eager to answer any questions and meet any needs we had. The last evening of our stay, we couldn't get the safe to open. Alex came to the apartment at midnight to open it for us so we knew we had our passports for our morning departure. We were very grateful and relieved.

For those wondering, the washer is both a washer and dryer as a single unit. They also provide a large drying rack for items that can't go in the dryer. A hair dryer is...

A hidden gem in Athens. Excellent accommodation and location. Apartment is of a high quality finish and its in a great location. Has everything you will need. Host was fantastic and extremely helpful with any questions we had. A few metres from multiple restaurants inc breakfast options and all the local shops. Short walks to Ermou st, Monastiraki etc. Will definitely stay again. ...
