Beautiful and comfortable apartment, perfect location. Mariana was very helpful and literally sent pages of info about Athens, from how to get on the airport bus to where to have lunch. She was very communicative the whole week. Plaka location is wonderful - very central so you can walk to everything, but the street itself is a quiet pedestrian road. Easy to get to from Syntagma Square, where the express airport bus drops you off. The apartment is sub ground level, but if you get in the building elevator and head to the top floor you'll find a panoramic rooftop view of the city with a straight on view of the Acropolis - particularly stunning at sunset. Mariana's place is a wonderful and comfortable base for exploring the city, and I highly recommend it.
