I stayed at Sophia's apartment for two nights and had a wonderful time. It was clean and comfortable, with AC units in both the bedroom and the lounge. The location was excellent - only a 10-15 minute walk to the Acropolis/Plaka area. Just before the Acropolis area, there was a strip of restaurants that were great. The nearest Acropolis entrance gate is not the most popular entrance, so it was very easy to get in. I also appreciated that I could easily walk back for a break while adjusting to the time zone! Had my stay been longer, I would have taken advantage of the kitchen (eating out every meal is exhausting and expensive)! There are plenty of markets nearby to buy food.
Sophia was very easy to coordinate with while preparing for my arrival. I did not have the pleasure of meeting her, but Nasos and Athina were both friendly and communicative. Athina help orient me to the area as we walked to the apartment. Once there, she showed me key places on a map. Lovely people, all of them!
Thank you so much, Sophia, for making my trip so smooth! When I return to Athens, I will definitely contact you!
