I don't think my stay in Athens could have been any more perfect, and I certainly don't think I could ever find a living space as comfortable and perfectly located as this apartment, nor a host more generous, kind, and impossibly helpful than Rosalina. The apartment itself has everything you could possibly hope for, including a very large bed with an air conditioning unit installed in the bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living room with its own air conditioner and ceiling fans, a balcony with an astounding view of the Acropolis, and a bathroom with hot water and a standing shower. It is located in the heart of the Plaka, with easy access to literally every major historical site that you will want to see (5-10 minute walks for just about all of them) and a host of dining options in the surrounding area. Make no mistake, the apartment itself is a gem in this city, and I cannot recommend it enough as a living space.

While the facility itself is wonderful, the host is the real draw in this particular case. Rosalina's kindness was on display at the very start of my journey. She arranged a taxi to take me directly from the airport on the day of my arrival and was waiting for me when I arrived. She provided a very thorough map that was marked with her very tasteful suggestions of restaurants and points of interest that proved to be consistently justified as recommendations. I told her I wanted to visit an island, so she recommended one and booked me a taxi so I could get there. I told her I wanted to go to the beach, so she suggested one and told me which tram to take to get there. I asked her to help me get a taxi to take me to the airport at the end of my stay, and at 10am on the dot the driver was waiting for me outside the apartment. Having someone like Rosalina supporting you makes trips like these a million times more authentic and worthwhile. Please, look no further, and stay in this wonderful apartment (the pictures are absolutely accurate) with this wonderful host, and find comfort in the knowledge that you are well looked after, comfortably situation, and primed to have the time of your life.
