I can't say enough about how wonderful this experience has been. Aside from the awe inspiring view from our bedroom as well as the balcony, this apartment had everything we needed and the bed was huge and comfortable. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. There is a lovely tea shop on the ground floor of the building for a quick pick me up and a local (within a stones throw of the buildings entrance) grocery store with fresh cold cuts and wonderful yogurt. Our host was a wealth of knowledge pertaining to Athens (typical tourist stuff) as well as the best tavern to stop in and have delicacies from Crete whisked to your table. Best travel experience of the year.
