Spiros' apartment is ideal for 2 wanting to explore Athens without relying on public transport - everywhere within the city centre is in easy and safe walking distance, but if you have a car, as we did, it's remarkably easy to fid parking close by. It's close to the Plaka for the full-on tourist experience, and to Ano Petralona, Koukaki and Thisseio for a more local feel.

The apartment is comfortable, comprehensively equipped, and there is a well-stocked supermarket just across the road, as well as a great street market on Fridays!

Spiros is a very attentive host, quick to respond to messages, and there was no problem to meet up with us late in the evening to hand over keys and show the apartment.

Would readily recommend to anyone wanting to experience daily life in Athens
