Maria and Prokopis's apartment is so special and they set the standard for hospitality. The apartment's balcony has a stunning view of Athens and makes this a must rent. Set some time aside in your itinerary to sit out there and enjoy some wine and the view. We didn't want to leave.
The apartment is located in a central neighborhood which made it easy to access all parts of the city. Shopping and dinning options are plentiful in this neighborhood which feels very alive during the day. The apartment is removed a block or two above some of the main shopping streets in the district and is directly across from a park/church area, so it is very quiet even though the surrounding area has a lot going on.
Additional props to Maria and Prokopis as we were in Athens for a wedding and were in search of a curling iron. Maria and Prokopis were able to track one down from friends and left it in the apartment for us. They went above and beyond with their hosting.
