If you go to Athens, forget reading and analyzing all the other listings - just stay here. The welcome, the room, the location, the views, even the trip to the airport were all 5 stars.
One of the things we didn't realize, those pictures of the Acropolis were taken from the room's balcony. Yep, you are that close and get to see it just by looking out the spacious living room window (or 1 of the bedroom windows). And the pedestrian way below the room is <2 minutes to several great restaurants as well as fantastic "local" places . That's not all - below this 3rd floor room (there is an elevator if you need it) on that pedestrian promenade is a fantastic ice cream shop!! BUT that's not all, to one up ever other place, next door is an open air movie theater!! It was playing Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like it Hot" (with Greek subtitles).
With this room we didn't need a car or even a cab - all the places we wanted to see were easily within walking distance. That included the Acropolis, the Agora, a couple of museums, restaurants, shops, etc.
Stelios was a gracious host, he had the kitchen well stocked so we could relax before heading out that evening. He walked through the place, describing all the appliances, features, patiently answering all of our questions. Also he had stocked the kitchen with food for breakfast and for us to snack on in the afternoon while we were there so we take in the views in the morning and at sunset from the balcony (or table) prior to heading out.
We took him up on him getting us a cab to the airport - one of the most enjoyable taxi rides I've taken in years! We had time in that morning so the driver added a quick drive by some of downtown Athens to the trip to the airport.
Pictures are very accurate of the apartment & all the features.
