Everything has been said already. But let me reassure a couple of things. Elena’s condo is located perfectly. After leaving the house, we turned left and were in the middle of the Plaka district. Everything is so close that we did not call a taxi a single time. We have walked to all the sightseeing spots including the Acropolis. Walking through Plaka to the Monastiraki district never gets boring. You will love it!
Elena has been a wonderful and caring host who responded to our questions within minutes. Being a host myself I know how difficult that sometimes can be.
The apartment was sparkling clean and very beautiful. We ended our evenings on one of the two decks and from one of them you could even see the Acropolis.
My wife and I would not want to stay at another place the next time we’re in Athens.
I strongly recommend taking advantage of Elena’s offer to arrange the airport transportation for you. Someone will pick you up at the airport holding up a sign with your name on it. The cars are all in good shape. Drivers know the drop-off address and you can sit back and relax immediately. On our departure day, our driver arrived a few minutes prior to our departure time at 5:30 in the morning right in front of the house and we comfortably drove to the airport - while watching tourists with suitcases trying to get a taxi in the dark.
It has been a perfect stay from start to finish!
