Wow. We were in Athens for 2 nights as a short stop between Rome and Santorini, and it turned out to be one of the best stops in the trip, much because of this apartment.
John was a spectacular host. He gave us accurate directions from the airport to the apartment and met us there to check us into a newly renovated living space. Believe the hype, this place is beautiful, resembling the modern stylings seen in magazines or TV. It is spacious with 2 bedrooms, and even has a washing machine for laundry.
The location is great, close to all the major historical sites, as well as the popular neighborhoods like Plaka and Monastiraki. There are great places to eat near by as well.
If you will be in Athens and want to be close to all the action, stay here for sure. Great host, amazing apartment. Value can't be beat. Hopefully he won't raise the price anytime soon, but even he does, it will still be worth it.
