Perfect Spot for Experiencing Athens

Beautiful apartment surrounded by restaurants and shopping. It was the perfect location for our family to see the historic sites, explore the markets, and enjoy happy hour on the balcony. My kids loved having thier coffee and baklava every morning on the balcony. The apartment was very comfortable, spacious, and has all of the amenities we needed. We highly recommend the Avant Garde!

Loved it!

It’s unusual to find such a spacious apartment with a gorgeous wraparound terrace & new appliances in major European cities! Very impressive and the view of the Parthenon is stunning!

Excellent place in Athens

Litsa was very helpful and prompt with our questions and requests during our stay & throughout the reservation process. The place was larger than the impression the photos gave. Very spacious & comfortable for our group of 7 adults. Our group spent a lot of time out on the balcony, when we were not out in Athens. WiFi seemed fast and is good for those that need to work remotely 10 minute walk with luggage from Syntagma Metro station Easy secure entry Would rent again for our next trip to Athens

Beautiful property

This is a beautiful apartment. You will not meet nicer people than the owners. The purple couch is so cute and comfy. Plenty of room indoors and on the beautiful wrap around porch. Restaurants and shops are in walking distance- the food everywhere is outstanding! WiFi in the home was great. There is some outdoor construction and repairs going on at the moment that resulted in some hiccups, but the owners were very accommodating about the issues.

Perfect Pleasure

Avant Garde gets an A+ rating on everything. The location is amazing. The expansive balcony was perfect for taking in the view and enjoying the surroundings. Each time I reached out to the owners, they got right back to me. We were greeted with charm and finesse. This will be my residence of choice on any trip back to Athens and I will be sure to recommend

Perfection in Athens

Everything was perfect with our stay at this apartment. Great location. Excellent pre-arrival communication. Accommodating hospitality. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Immaculately clean. Athens was experiencing a major heatwave while we were there. The apartment's a/c worked perfectly. I absolutely recommend this apartment and would stay again if I return to Athens. David

Excellent location

This place was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see! Getting to and from the airport was a pain, but not the fault of the lodging at all. Lots of space for our group (2 couples 2 singles) to relax and unwind, but also socialize and enjoy the views. Kitchen was limited but perfect for our needs. Fantastic space with lots of character in a character filled city.
