Everything worked fantastically from the moment we arrived at the bustling street corner outside the apartment. Panos was waiting outside and instantly saw us and waved us across. He chatted to our driver to confirm exact pick-up times, and then welcomed us in. A quick tour of the cool, air-conditioned, apartment and then he ran us through central Athens, the key sites to visit, where he felt was good to eat, what to see, and where to avoid (very important for us as we had young children). The location of the apartment was brilliant, right opposite the Acropolis Museum, and about 200m from the entrance to the Acropolis itself. There are many other sights within walking distance and, even though the Metro station was across the street, we only went on transport once, and that was to enjoy the open air tour bus around Athens. The street below the apartment had loads of restaurants and cafe-type establishments, plus takeaway offerings such as ice creams, Greek yogurts shops plus gift shops and jewellers, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The atmosphere is buzzy - day and night, and there is more shopping in Plaka just a few streets away. As well as the usual tourist details, Panos also gave us a list of Greek foods, wines, restaurants, etc which formed part of his recommended see and do list (emailed to us so accessible at all times around Athens). The actual apartment itself was as described on airbnb, it is a bit basic but clean, everything worked, and the decor was simple and functional. It had very secure locks, both on the street and to the actual apartment, so I had no worries at all, and it was very spacious with a fantastic parque flooring in the large main sitting/dining/living area. The balcony was lovely, I really enjoyed walking out first thing in the morning to enjoy the early pre-heat bustle, and then sitting out there late evening watching the crowds mill past with the local trade stands and sellers of toys and gimmicks (never pushy!) - such a busy corner and I really felt a part of the local culture just standing and observing. My only regret is we did not get to go up to the roof top terrace Panos has access to, I can imagine it is beautiful. I would definitely return here should I want to visit Athens again, and Panos was so helpful in all of his information that I felt we not only saved a day in just finding information out, we also made the absolute best of the limited time we had there, with great food enjoyed at every meal!
