"1869Athens", a 150+year-old residence within the city walls, is gifted with charm and mystery, combining original, neoclassical elements with soulful touches and humorous notes. Located within the ancient city’s walls, in the most vivid, multi-culti, historical neighborhood of Psirri, a few meters from the Monastiraki metro station, this 1869 building houses a soulfoul nest for the travellers who seek more than a “mass production” bnb listing. The apartment covers the whole first floor (80sq.m.), consisting of a very spacious living-room with a very special wooden floor and roof, a cozy bedroom equipped with a double bed, a marble-covered bathroom, a large kitchen and a hall . This house is ideal for couples, but can accommodate up to 5 people. It is much bigger than you thought, so make it worth: Rest your aching tourist body, in a room equipped with a 2.10×1.65 bed and a comfortable, anatomic matress, a double-glazed window and a refreshing fan on the ceiling, or experiment with the local tastes in the fully equipped kitchen. But that is not all of it: Climb the stairs and discover my little, private terrace, have a sip of your cocktail and chill on the hammock, surrounded by plants. It is recommended, though, to loosen your tourist schedules, as it takes more than just a quick look to discover all the little secrets of 1869Athens. ​Afterall, perhaps the house itself is a sightseeing opporunity.

I am involved in the ad business as a creative director, seeking creativity in whatever I do. I am also a curious traveller, although I don't travel as much as I would like, and a passionate cat-lover. Above all, I am in love with this house, hoping -one day- to fully restore it to its original beauty.

Psirri is one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Athens. Everyday shopping and tourist attractions are close by, as well as the places that gave Psirri its reputation: traditional restaurants, clubs, small raki coffee shops, and groovy bars, . Don’t miss the opportunity to discover the spice market, just around the corner! Follow the scents. Although some would say that the street looks somehow “neglected”, most residents appreciate the quietness during the night; an advantage hard to find in the area. Yet (mostly during the summer) a bouzouki melody from the near-by tavernas might consist the opening theme for your sweet dreams.​
