We are honored to introduce our latest apartment (Dec.2023), especially designed to offer comfort and accessibility, so much needed in Athenian short-term rentals, for both leisure and business trips. The Gracious apartment is the fourth large apartment at the A.U.R.A. complex, a privately owned and managed property building, in the most convenient, quiet and beautiful Athenian neighborhood named Thission, in the heart of the Athenian historical center. The space Welcome to the A.U.R.A. Gracious Accessible 4-bedroom / 5-bathroom apartment. Large apartment / 180sq.m (1937sq.foot). Rented as a whole or as 2 separate and connecting apartments, found in two additional listings, located on the first floor (1st for Europe / 2nd for the U.S.). Prospective guests with vision impairment may scroll down for a more detailed description. Experience acquired through the years (since 2014), from the creation and management of three successful properties in the same building, has led us to the need to complement comfort offered to guests with accessibility so much needed in rental apartments in Athens. Visitors have helped us understand their needs as family members, as group friends or business travelers with or without disability conditions. Moreover, the specific apartment invites guests to connect to the Athenian local neighborhood atmosphere through its proximity to one of the cutest tree-lined pedestrian streets in the historical centre that Athenians love to explore during their relaxing hours. We’d like to believe that guests will cherish our new creation. An absolute deal for team building travels thanks to its large common space and meeting table as well as bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms offering privacy. An electric piano also added for small musical gatherings, always with respect to the quiet hours which prevail in Greece. Kindly refer to my profile's reviews to visit online three more spacious apartments and acquire a better understanding of the advantages the property and host have to offer. These apartments may also prove useful for needs of even larger accommodations.

Moreover, unlike most of the newest constructions in Athens, in the entire building we have invested in renewable resources: solar energy, geothermal energy, recently replaced by heat pumps. Our aim is to guarantee an absolute heating and cooling effect with full autonomy per apartment, through an under-floor system (for long-term stays) and fan coils in every room for full autonomy per space, plus hot running water at all hours and the heating of the swimming pool at the rooftop during the winter season (exclusively for guests at the A.U.R.A. Penthouse). Visitors’ comments for all A.U.R.A. properties primarily focus on three major advantages: Quality accommodation, ideal location and a hospitable host/owner supported by an admirable team. A brief description of the apartment explains why. The A.U.R.A. Gracious Accessible Apartment is situated on the 1st floor (2nd for U.S.) and is served by an elevator. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms (one with a queen-sized sofa bed, the rest with either a king-size bed or two single beds based on guests’ preference) and 5 bathrooms (2 ensuite and 3 right next to the respective bedrooms). The bedding arrangements provided on this listing relate to the maximum capacity. In the spacious living room, another sofa bed may also accommodate 1-2 persons. Guests are kindly requested to define their desired bedding arrangements and we will be happy to have them prepared accordingly. We are proud to have created one distinguished part of the apartment wheelchair accessible (also found as a separate listing “Gracious-Accessible Apt in Ideal Location”) with a specially designed bathroom and specifications. The kitchen area connecting to the living area and large dining table, is convenient for homemade meals. An inviting balcony offers a lovely view over the street’s life as a theatrical scene overlooking Athenians passing by to enjoy a drink, or meal in one of the neighborhood’s hip spots. All rooms have separate A/C, and the apartment is quite spacious, offering guests autonomy and privacy which are so valuable during traveling, even for the closest group members.
