Hi all,
I'm looking for a two week apartment rental in Athens and saw a nice one on the homz.gr website. Has anyone used them or know if they are reliable?

Alternatively, I'd appreciate suggestions for studio/1 bedroom rentals in the Plaka or Kolonaki area. I've already checked VRBO and some of the other main sites, but personal recommendations would be great.

Thanks!

I should have noted that I'm hoping to find an apartment for less than 100 euros/night.

Again, thanks for any suggestions or hints!

TravelGirl2 mentioned her Athens rental in her Trip of a Lifetime report here on Fodor's and gave it a good review...www.athenspenthouses.com

Thanks for the response, SuQue. I've seen that website mentioned and the apartments look great but it's a little out of my price range (unless they negotiate!).

Since you seem to be a professor of business, I'm sure you're a fan of laying out all the facts -- and you have failed to tell us WHEN you hope to get an apartment for 100€. WHEN is a key fact. WHEN are you coming??

Good point, TravelerJan! I'll be in Athens next June.

Bizprof -- when inquiring about rates did you give your dates? Maybe u got rates for hi season.

Here are some links I found for friends for late may 08 that were in your price range, in Plaka & kolonaki

The "travel-library" link is good; try it for new listings since I visited.

TravelerJan,
Thanks so much for all of the information! I hadn't run across all of those websites in my search. Do you know which apartment your friends ended up renting and whether they were happy with their choice?

Thanks again for all of your time.
