Kalliope, who is extremely friendly and speaks excellent English, was very speedy in accepting our original request to stay at her apartment and promptly and cordially welcomed us into her home upon our arrival from the airport. Although there were occasional time lags when trying to get hold of her while in Athens, she answered all our questions and provided additional amenities that we asked for during our stay (such as an iron and, very conveniently, a parking lot).

The listing, which is on the fifth floor of a partially empty apartment building and can be easily reached through the elevator, comprises two spacious balconies and includes access to a roofdeck. The roofdeck as well as the north-facing balcony have spectacular views of the Acropolis. The kitchen is particularly well furnished, and upon arrival we found that the fridge contained a bottle of wine and fresh fruit for our consumption.

Even though on our next trip to Athens we might choose to stay in a livelier location, for instance near Syntagma Square, this is an excellent and accommodating listing and we greatly appreciated Kalliope's hospitality from the beginning to the end of our stay: highly recommended!
