Classy and comfortable, Monastiraki Urban Place is a true urban one-bedroom haven in the historic centre of Athens. After a long day of Athenian adventures, it is the perfect place to wind down. A fully renovated apartment in a late 1900s building. Walk into this cosy, modern space and live like a real Athenian for a few days. The situation’s great too. You’re centre stage of the buzzing culinary zone, the major shopping district, and the past. No rush for the past though, it’s been standing, pretty close to where you are, for over 2,000 years. It’ll wait a tad bit longer Life here is easy. The space has a classy, modern feel with a few subtle touches of fun. The living area features a comfy sofa that turns into a double bed and an elegant armchair sits grandly by its side. A 60’ smart TV ultra HD 4k flat screen with surround sound system is also part of the scene; do not fret. There’s also a table for four if you decide to have meals at home, and a work corner with a sleek desk and chair if you need to work. You can find also free high speed WiFi.

The area (Historic Centre) has always been linked to politics and commerce. Commerce remains anchored in this ‘triangle’ with nearby Ermou st. being the protagonist of Athenian retail activity. Though global brands have edged out most of the family-owned shops that used to line the 1.5km long street, you’ll find plenty of smaller niche shops in the side streets. The perfect starting point for exploring the city on foot or by metro (Monastiraki metro station is a mere 5’ walk away). The city’s booming culinary, café, and bar scene is right at your doorstep as is Varvakeios Market (Athens’s central meat, fish, and vegetable market that dates back to the late 19th century). Walk the cobblestoned streets from Monastiraki, through Thisseio, Plaka, and up towards Anafiotika. Continue on towards the ancient open-air theatre of Herodeion, the Acropolis Museum, and of course the Acropolis.
