The apartment is short was to Plaka area and public transport. The apartment has an elevator but is located on a hill requiring stairs to reach the building to keep in mind if you have difficulty walking. We were able to walk fine with our children (ages 4, 4, and 6). The host provided extra bedding for our family and had laundry detergent, soap, and shampoo available which was a HUGE plus for us. The only negative was that there is not a proper shower (just a bathtub with a handheld hose). However the space in the apartment and amazing balcony is why we booked and we spent a lot of time there. The host was quick to respond and help and provided information about things in the area and offered transport assistance if needed. Overall would definitely recommend for the space and the balcony and great host! Enjoy!!
