My daughter and I stayed for a week at Dimitris apartment. He and his father were on top of everything, quickly answering questions; his father, Jannis, welcomed us with great hospitality and explanations. Overall, it was outstanding on most every account. The large terrace and Acropolis view trumps every minor issue we encountered.
We avoided the separate terrace enclosure after my daughter awoke with multiple bug bites while trying to sleep on the sofa there the first night. But we found the futon in the apartment adequate for our needs.
The apartment is so central to everything - Metro, bus, all the great sights and cultural areas - and easy to get to/from the airport and Piraeus ferry port. We were on the go, but most waking hours spent there were spent on the fabulous terrace with the captivating, panoramic view.
Through Jannis, we arranged a tour of Delphi by Demitri’s uncle for 200€. Just to note, this is not a ‘tour’ per se - he was our driver for the day. But the value was still great if you’re hesitant about renting a car. Manos was super personable and accommodating and offered an insight into local culture.
Overall, I feel the considerable pros and exceptional value far outweigh cons, and thus highly recommend this soulful apartment ... I’m already nostalgic for this terrace view.
