This was a lovely respite from the rest of busy Athens. Loved the church bells (but bring earplugs for the mornings) and the singing outside the church on Sunday. An easy 25 min walk to the Plaka. Make sure you climb Philopappus Hill, right next to the apartment, at sunset - well worth the hike! The house was stylish & sunny, bed linens were dreamy and the shower pressure was life-giving after walking around all day. It should be noted that there was no longer any furniture (table/chairs/cushions) in the little backyard area- not sure why - but I enjoyed sitting on the front patio & using the little table there. Stavroula's guide book had some great nearby recommendations. Enjoyed a meal at Kouvelos and a beer & good conversation at the corner bar nearby. Neratzia Cafe Bistro had delicious cappuccino & was a lovely place to read my book before getting groceries nearby. There is definitely resentment here over Airbnb's driving up rent costs but I think that isn't unique to Athens (more intense in this Koukaki area because so many AirBnBs are here). But I did love that it felt like you got to live in the part of the city that Athenians reside in, rather than a tourist hub. Bumpy & slippery sidewalks so bring shoes with good traction. Stavroula was very responsive, positive and helpful. And please try the homemade bitter orange marmalade gift in the fridge (made from the Naratzia oranges crowding the trees all around right now). I bought yogurt and put a small scoop of it with honey and pistachios and it was heaven!
