Anna is a fabulous host. She’s responsive, helpful, and friendly. She has great recommendations, including a driver for airport transfers and touring if you need it (we had already booked ours). She also arranged the covid testing appointment for our return flight (it was quick and easy but take a taxi as it’s a long walk if hot out).
The location is fantastic - literally across the street from the acropolis museum and a very short walk to the less busy southeast entrance of the acropolis. It is very safe, and people are out and about until late in the evening. The metro is across the street. There are tons of good restaurants (our faves were God’s restaurant, Scholarchio, or Big Brother Kebab for a quick cheap bite). It’s also right near all the shopping in Plaka, and walking distance from most of the main archaeological sites. The custom sandal maker Mellisinos is right around the corner (definitely go there - quality and experience is amazing and prices are very reasonable). There is a small market around the corner for groceries. A few places are open early to grab pastries (spinach/cheese pies, bougatsa, etc), donuts, yogurt, coffee, etc if you want breakfast before early touring.
The apartment is roomy, and has great air conditioning (a must in the 100+ degree heat). It is clean, and the large outdoor deck is great for relaxing. Anna provided nice goodies in the kitchen - wine, juice, butter, jam, toasts, coffee, cookies, water… and the kitchen is well stocked with plates, cups, cooking basics.
Checkin was a breeze, and Anna met us to give us the keys and show us around. We were able to checkin early (or leave luggage there in case there was a prior guest) - which was great since we arrived before noon. Anna is very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom was clean, and the shower worked well. There’s also a washer in the unit, but I didn’t use it. There is tons of room in the closets if you want to hang things up or spread out, and the luggage bench is handy if you want to live out of your suitcase. The living room is a nice space to relax, and we appreciated the large dining table and chairs to allow us to eat comfortably.
We were a family of four, and there was plenty of space for us. I would not hesitate to recommend her place, and if we return to Athens, I would love to stay there again.
