Dorothea's place is highly recommended. First it is in the BEST (by far) location in town - near the syntagma square, Plaka is 5 min away, Ermou street and all its shops, 5 min walk to monostreky square and all restaurants near and not far from Kolonaki quarter where we had great Italian food.
The apartment had everything we needed including a laundry machine and powder which we used twice in the almost a week we stayed there. Dorothea left fruits milk bread honey and other lovely things we ate in the morning after arrival without rushing to the supermarket early morning. Seemed like Dorotea thought about EVERYTHING! No doubt she wants you to feel home and that is exactly how we felt in her place.
Both Dorothea and her husband waited for us till 2300 as our flight arrived late in Athens. Thanks for that Dorothea! we truly appreciated it.
The apartment was perfect for us -parents and 2 kids (separated bed rooms and living room , 2 bathrooms) and we highly recommend it for families.
Some tips ,The apartment is near a great bakery Aryston on voulis street where you can eat KURU - bread with cheese and lots of other things (we all loved it) . There are also 2 good cafes under the building and a great non expensive shoe maker where we fixed our shoes (not having time for this in our town back home) .
We will surely come back to Doroteha's place when in Athens next time.
Happy Christmas.
Enjoy!!
