Отель Bella, Афины, Греция

This is a beautifully laid out and spacious apartment with really comfortable beds. It’s clear that such careful thought has gone into the space - and there is (literally) everything that you need, including a washing machine. Location-wise, we loved the cocktails from the bar downstairs (Ham & Rye), and there are many excellent restaurants nearby. Exarcheia is where Athens shows you its anarchistic side, and the graffiti is everywhere. I have an ongoing Instagram highlight reel dedicated to Athenian Street Art, and it had a lot of great additions this year! The walk down to Monastiraki, Psirri and Plana gives you a chance to walk down Aiolou Street from Omonia, which competes with the Areopagus Way for best walking street in Athens. This was our working home for over a month, with occasional weekends away to the islands. We’ll definitely be trying to book it when we next get the chance!

It's a wonderful apartment, beautifully renovated, not the standard cheap short term rental renovation where everything falls apart. Worth mentioning comfy beds, also something that is hard to find. We stayed for a month and truly felt at home. As a matter of fact, already booked it for our next trip to Athens. As for the noise from downstairs mentioned by other reviews - it didn't bother us much but maybe because we stayed during the winter. We actually quite enjoyed the bar downstairs and the little club across the street and visited both a lot.
