We came to Greece from Denver ( family with an 8 and 12 year old) and we’re a little apprehensive about Athens.
We stayed here and it greatly exceeded my expectations in every respect.
First, the apartment is literally below the acropolis and you can see it great from the apartment- and you are literally in the middle of all the big attractions. The path to the acropolis is maybe 40 yards from your front door, and, the cool shops and restaurants are the opposite way on the same path and maybe a 10 minute walk. On the walk there are cool street vendors and restaurants so it is very safe. Also, right across the alley from your front door is an outdoor movie theater that is fairly popular and we were able to watch Casablanca for free from our terrace! We didn’t think that it was a popular until we go to the Athens airport and there was a poster of the actual movie theater as part of the tourist attraction pictures.
Second, the apartment was seriously awesome. We put our 2 kids in 1 room (2 single beds) and my wife and I slept in the master room ( 2 single beds pushed together). There was a washing machine, nice kitchen, bathroom (w bathtub and not one of those weird European showers with no curtains) and the living area was big. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more as far as that.
Finally, and most importantly, was the hostess, Rita. She was so helpful and helped us with almost everything. She arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport, a taxi to take us to the airport and even recommended restaurants for us to go to and her recommendations were spot on. She was so very responsive that I could just not of asked for anything more. We made many comments while in Athens that we could not have picked a better place to stay. If you are looking for an awesome place, you need to look no further than this place. It was truly great and I am not sure it is possible to find a better place and host!
