What a perfect bass for Athens! This place is a designer's dream - stylish, elegant and comfortable. The pictures just give a little taste of how nice it really is. Everything has been carefully planned for in this apartment. You will need nothing else - all is stocked for thoroughly for a stay of any length, in the kitchen, bath and laundry, bedroom and living areas Even a great Blutooth stereo system and TV with cable in several languages. Our charming host Nikos met us promptly as booked and gave us a thorough introduction to the apartment. All was explained clearly and in detail, and he was always available for any questions or concerns. Communication was prompt and always friendly. You'll feel like family not visitors before long! The Koukaki area is a delight. It is very safe. We walked everywhere - The Acropolis and Museum just a few minutes walk away, and be sure to go to the top of Filopoppou Hill up behind the apartment for great views. Just around the corner from the apartment on car free Geor. Olimpiou street are dozens of great cafes bars and restaurant, our favourites included: Cafe Valparaiso, To Kouki, and Venetia. A few blocks east is Drakou Street with many more of the same. Great late night Souvlaki at Kalyvas at corner of G. Olimpiou and Dimitrakopoulou. Kalamaki Bar at Drakou 15 has great food and excellent, carefully sourced quality Greek wines are found at BoBo Bar at Anastasiou Zinni 36. Several supermarkets nearby, we found best value and prices at Sklaventis, 3 short blocks east on Dimitrakopoulou. Check out tasty homestyle good value local food at Garyfallo Kanela at corner of Falirou and Zan Moreas. My favourite local receommendation is a place we went to several times: Pantopolion at 34 Dimitrakopoulou St - extensive selection of the very best of quality Greek products - wines, cheeses, meats, spices, beers etc. - and they do a delicious foods to go or eat in. Staying here in this apartment was the best part of our first trip tp Athens. Looking forward to a return visit.
