Being our first time in Athens we did not know what to expect. The initial appearance on the street is not what most Americans would expect. When we stepped out of the cab it had the appearance of an abandoned industrial district, but this is not the case. I was glad when I made the walk to the first keybox a block away and say the pedestrian street where it is located. The instructions they provided made this very easy.
The apartment was a bit warm with the rooftop exposure but it did not take long to cool the apartment down. The bottle of wine in the refrigerator was put to use sitting on the balcony in a breeze. It gave us a chance to relax and admire the view this location offers.
When we finally went out for dinner we met an occupant of the building and she walked with us for a kilometer and provided some advice on where to eat. This really helped put my wife at ease walking the streets at night.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
