The apartment is new and spanking clean. It was wow when we stepped in. It has been done up really nice. The view of acropolis is genuine. The photo did not lie. Vasiliki is a great host. She ensured that we knew how to get to her place and even waited for us to arrived and showed us around the place. She even recommended places to eat and drink at. The size of the room is just nice for 2 pax though tablespace may be slightly limited.
The area is extremely convenient as it is just next to the Plaka and about 8 min walk to syntagma square (with my luggage). You could walk to most of the attractions in Athens and plenty of eating places around with a restaurant just downstairs. All the convenience however does come with a price as it can get pretty noisy in the night till wee hours with the garbage collection and revellers in the area. It didn’t bother me much as I just went back to sleep. Convenience and safety for me is more important.
