I had the perfect vacation in Athens and two big reasons were this apartment and George. The location is right in the middle almost all the major sites and, if needed, it is within a few steps to Monastiraki Station. It is a good size and is great for a couple or solo traveler like me. Of course, the highlight is the balcony with a view over Monastiraki Square, Hadrian's Library and up to the Acropolis. The hidden gem is George, he is one of the most kind and thoughtful hosts that I encountered. He and his father run a cafe downstairs, so he is available when needed and always has a ready smile when you walk by. The area has many restaurants and shopping opportunities as far as one wants to walk and, of course, people-watching abounds, but I had most of my meals on the balcony. Perfect!
