We really enjoyed our two week stay and can highly recommend it.Sarantos, Eleni's father, greeted us and was absolutely lovely - very warm and welcoming. Communication was excellent both before and during our stay. The apartment was super clean and we found it very good value given the superb location. The photos of the apartment are very accurate, in fact it is even nicer than it looks. While the listing says there is a shared entrance, this refers only to the main door to the street - the courtyard steps seen in the photos lead solely to the apartment and the balcony which runs along the length of it is not shared.
It is super central so is perfect as a base from which to explore the many delights Athens has to offer: everything is within walking distance and if you want to go further afield the metro (Akropoli) is 2 minutes from the door. After a long day sightseeing you can wash the day away in the shower with its really good water pressure, relax and watch something on Netflix or chill out on the amazing balcony, the views from which are every bit as good as the photos show, if not better. We had some lovely evenings listening to birdsong, enjoying the distant sounds of life from Dionysius Areopagou (the perfect street for an evening stroll) and watching the sun set and the lights come on at the Acropolis. The very comfortable bed meant we slept really well too.
The well-equipped kitchen has what you need to cook (oven, hob, microwave etc), but there are lots of great restaurants nearby too (we loved Opos Palia on Veikou, five minutes away) and there's also a fab bakery called Takis tucked behind the Acropolis Museum on Misaraliotou Street for breakfast goodies. There are lots of little supermarkets nearby too, all easy to find on google maps. The area - called Koukaki - behind the Acropolis Museum was full of nice bars and cafes and little squares. Further afield (at most 15 mins walk away) Lukumades on Aiolou (near Monastiriki), as recommended by Eleni, was a great place to get freshly made Greek doughnut-type treats glazed with honey and cinnamon.
All in all we had a brilliant time and would happily stay here again. Thank you Eleni and Sarantos :)
