I was made to feel hugely welcome by Christina - she was very friendly and super-informative about everything on offer in Athens - we tried several of her recommendations (for eating, things to do etc) and she was spot on every time!

The apartment was lovely - beautiful, spacious, well-kept and the location also perfect - close enough to the centre of Athens that you could walk to the Acropolis or have a very cheap taxi ride (the option we chose as it was a 38 degree (100 F) heatwave on the August day we were there) but also far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle when we wanted some down time.

The neighbourhood had plenty going on though - little cafes, restaurants, bars and shops within a block or two, shady places to sit, and you really felt like you were experiencing a slice of Greek life.

In short - this was the perfect starting place to explore this lovely city, the perfect place to relax when we weren't and we'd stay there again in a heartbeat. Five out of five!
