This is the perfect Athens apartment. The location, close to the entrance to the Acropolis in the quiet, convenient Koukaki neighborhood, is just the beginning. The street is quiet and pretty, and the house is lovely. On the second floor (third floor to Americans), the apartment has a private terrace with a direct view of the Parthenon—perfect for breakfast or cocktails. The kitchen is well planned and thoughtfully equipped, with modern appliances and everything you might need. We never used the living room and television because we were always on the terrace, and the inside dining area became a de facto office. WiFi worked just fine. The beds were super comfortable. Bathrooms had low ceilings and both of us are tall, so it was a concern, but we had no problem at all. There is a library on a lower floor full of books about art and history.
Diana and Dimitris provided us with a few things to eat—bread and cheese, olives and olive oil, etc. It was so thoughtful! Plenty of bath amenities of high quality, fresh linens, pots of flowers on the terrace. Just beautiful! As hosts, they were easy to communicate with but not at all intrusive.
I can’t imagine more gracious hosts or a more beautiful place to stay in Athens. I just wish I could have stayed longer.
