We had great communications with Nikolas before the trip hit underway. He met us at the acropolis metro and walked us to the house. The house was more beautiful and spacious than we expected. The kitchen was well stocked and Nikolas had a welcome bottle of wine for us. The house is very centrally located in the heart of the Plaka and walking distance to the sights. The Monastiraki markets and metro are a half mile away and great for connections to the airport and the ferry terminal at Piraeus.

The wi-fi works great. The bathrooms are spacious and also included is a half bath. The living, dining and study are very large and well stocked with books. One of the best features of the house is the roof top terrace where we spent a few evenings sipping wine or Ouzo while looking at the acropolis or the night sky. There are a couple of small grocery stores nearby with limited supplies.

Of course, there is no shortage of restaurants in the Plaka, but they tend to be very touristy. We walked to Monastiraki and ate at some small and local reataurants and shopped in the open markets near Ommonia square.

If there is a downside to being on the heart of the Plaka, it is the street noise from pedestrians and motorcycles going by late during
the night.

We are returning back to the house at the end of our Greek trip and looking forward to the house.
