Welcome to A.U.R.A. - Acropolis Unique Residence Apartments and the A.U.R.A. Elegant Apartment 3. A privately owned building with 2 apartments and the owner’s home, built in 2005, offers visitors a cordial atmosphere as well as full privacy. The building is continuously being improved at the owner’s attentiveness. Please note, that in case of no vacancy or a request for an even larger accommodation, visitors are kindly asked to visit the Penthouse, of equal comfort, in the same building, which also includes a shared roof top terrace and heated pool. See the listing: https://www.flipkey.com/properties/9260618/ Thank you! Visitors’ comments for this property all focus on three major advantages: Quality accommodation, ideal location and a hospitable host/owner. Reading what follows explains why. The A.U.R.A. 3d floor Elegant Apartment 3 is situated at the 3d floor, served by a large elevator. There are 5 comfortable bedrooms and 5 bathrooms next to each one of them from which one en suite that include 3 bathtubs and 2 showers. All bedrooms are flexible as regards accommodation with queen or twin beds. The kitchen area is convenient for homemade preparations to enjoy a nice meal at the large dining table found at the sun bathing patio, overlooking the Acropolis at the end of the tree-lined street. The patio’s large windows offer a nice view over the street’s life through the curtains which make up a beautiful theatrical scene as guests are gazing at the neighborhood’s residents passing by. The patio is particularly inviting to all guests as a relaxing lounge area with a comfy sofa and pouffes. All areas offer separate A/C through fan coils which rely on geothermal and solar energy. The apartment is quite spacious, extending to 180 sq.m. offering guests autonomy and privacy which are so valuable during travelling even among the closest group members. Parking is available upon request, free of charge. A car would be needed just for day excursions out of Athens. Security doors and password for the main entrance offer peace of mind to guests who may feel unsecure while traveling. Quiet hours prevail in Greece also in the middle of the day which all visitors are kindly requested to respect. The entire building, highly innovative for Athenian standards, relies on geothermal and solar energy in order to guarantee an absolute heating and cooling effect through an under floor system (for longer term rentals) and fan coils, hot running water as well as the heating of the roof top swimming pool / non-available for this apartment. Re-cycling is realized through special bins at the ground floor of premises. Visitors are encouraged to support environment friendly actions. Finally, the A.U.R.A. Elegant Apartment 3 is literally 10 minutes’ walk from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus participating at the Athens & Epidaurus Festival during summer, 15 min walk from the Acropolis museum and Plaka, through lovely pedestrian streets. The Athens Riviera is also just a 9.0 km away and the most attractive neighborhoods are all around the neighborhood of Thission. At last a number of services are available upon request, including personal trainer, yoga trainer and physiotherapist’s / homeopathy treatments, as well as airport or any other transfer in or out of Athens.

Excellent location, apartment and welcome!
Very nice and convenient apartment with lot of space and a veranda with view on Acropolis. Quality building in a premium location: residential and very calm with immediate proximity of historical sites. Last but not least, Marianne is a great host.

Spacious Apartment, Ideal Location, Wonderful!
The AURA apartment is very well laid out with 5 comfortable bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and spacious, well-equipped common areas. It is nicely furnished and impeccably clean. It was amazing to look up and see the Acropolis from the sitting area! The building is very secure and the area also seemed very safe. I was thankful to have the elevator with all of our luggage! The AURA is perfectly located on a quiet pedestrian walkway, with taxi pickup available at the cross street just nearby as well as convenient Metro stops. There are loads of restaurants and shopping within walking distance, and we walked all around the Acropolis and other historical sights. The location is the best! Also the packet of information and recommendations provided by Marianne was very helpful (and she is delightful). I highly recommend this apartment!

Perfect Location and Setup for Group of 10
The location of our rental home could not have been better - on a pedestrian street just a few short blocks from the main pedestrian walkway around the Acropolis in the neighborhood of Thessio. Close to everything you want to see, yet tucked in a more residential area. The home is lovely and well appointed (sipping coffee while looking at the acropolis is quite a way to start the day!). The five bedrooms each have their own bath - and all can be made into two two twins or a king, making it ideal for families (we had six adults and four kids). Marianne was a lovely host - providing delicious snacks upon our arrival and providing recommendations that could not have been better. We loved the local restaurants she guided us to, as well as the bakeries and produce market. A fabulous stay that kicked off a wonderful trip to Greece!

Perfect apartment with Acropolis view
This is a fab apartment, plenty of room for the 11 of us. Great Location, with easy walk to the Acropolis and the museum, short walk to Thission metro and a short walk to Monisteraki. We shopped locally, with a supermarket around the corner, as well as a bakery and greengrocer, plus a fab wine store. There are also plenty of places to eat, our favourite was one of Mariannes recommendations, Gevomai kai Magevomai, really friendly and helpful and the food was great. Also tried To Steki tour Ilia, fabulous lamb chops. This was our second visit to this apartment, and will return again if we go to Athens again. I would recommend you try this apartment, Marianne is very helpful and I love the area.

About the neighborhood
Location: is probably the best in Athens. The neighborhood is Thission, a residential area, the most appealing of all for visitors as much as for Athenians, in the heart of the historical centre. It combines the characteristics of the mid19th century through the neoclassical residencies which are being continuously preserved, with the proximity to the most important archaeological sites through lovely pedestrian streets and some of the most beautiful walks in any European capital, as well as several ultra-hip surrounding areas to eat, shop and walk around.
Getting around
A large choice of cafes, traditional taverns and restaurants as well as local shops offer visitors the option to spend time in the neighborhood if they please and acquire the inside knowledge of Athens! The A.U.R.A. Elegant Apartment 3 is a 10-15 minutes’ walk to the most important attractions but outside the touristy mass or city noise so even the owner is often still taken by surprise from the calm it offers.
