It isn't very often that you visit a city for the first time and rather than wanting to see the sights, you just want to stay inside. But Lida's place does that to you. The view of the Acropolis and Parthenon at night (during the day also) is just so beautiful you just want to sit on the balcony and look at it.

When you do want to venture out though, everything is so close. We wandered around the afternoon we got there and ended up at the Panathenaic Stadium. If you made a direct route there you could easily walk within 15 minutes. A taxi to the Acropolis only cost us under 4 Euro, but it is also within walking distance.

As a host, Lida is fantastic. She came to the apartment to meet us and talk us through everything. She even showed us on the map how to get to certain things. Made recommendations about places to eat. Definitely follow those recommendations. We went to the Black Sheep which was amazing, but also ordered home delivery through the local place mentioned and it too was just amazing.

To sum up, if you opted to stay in another place and then got to see Lida's apartment, you would regret it.
