What is the first sight that comes to your mind when thinking of Athens? Let me guess - the Acropolis. So when coming to Athens wouldn't it be great to have a rooftop flat with cozy benches, a glass of wine and direct view to the Acropolis? If you think so too, then Spiros’ apartment is perfect for you.
Arriving at Spiro's place we had a very warm welcome from him and his mother. Just a few steps upside he showed us "our" apartment. And this is really a magnificent place to stay during a short trip to Athens. The double bed is very comfortable and there is a lot of additional space with two separate sofa beds in the living room. There was even some juice in the fridge and cookies on the table for us. Just the size of the bathroom is a bit on the small side. The view from the rooftop terrace is really awesome and it is the perfect place to enjoy a drink in a more private environment.
The place is easily accessible and only a 5 minutes’ walk from Syntagma Square, where you typically arrive from Athens Int’l Airport either by Metro (M3) or bus (X95). The owner Spiros is a great host giving us lots of insider tips for sightseeing and going out. The location in the heart of Athens’ Plaka district is ideal for sightseeing and entertainment (lots of cafés, bars and taverns just around the corner). Within a couple of minutes you can reach the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. In case you are up for a drink at night there is a stylish wine bar just across the street offering an excellent choice. And try the great, refreshing espresso freddo or cold drinking chocolate at Sokolata next block.
Communication with Spiros, checking in and checking out was very straightforward and pleasant –thank you very much. We had a wonderful stay in this apartment!
