Dionysia's house is in an ideal location for exploring Athens and the sights. It's in the very quaint and historic Plaka district, but is just a touch off the beaten path, allowing for privacy. The area is very safe and active. The best thing about the location is it is literally steps from the "back" entrance to the Acropolis via the Theater of Dionysus. We got there at 8 when it opened, walked directly to the top, and had the place to our selves! The home has a quaint private courtyard and two porches. We ate on the top porch, with views across the rooftops of Athens every meal we took at the house. The place is spacious and charming. I visited with my wife and two children, and we had plenty of space to spread out. We loved staying here.
