All communications with Aris and his representative were very friendly and helpful, and almost immediate. They have excellent of the area and Athens and made many useful recommendations. The apartment was all it was described as, and even more. The view alone is worth the price, but everything is wonderful inside, too: the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, luxurious sofas to lie on and gaze at the Acropolis, everything needed for cooking, excellent shower, books, DVDs, range of TV stations, etc. The neighbourhood is interesting and varied, and a bit 'edgy', meaning graffiti, but it is perfectly safe. It is not lined with touristy shops and has a genuine feel about it. Bakery, supermarket, kiosk, etc, are nearby. Athens is a fabulous city and this is an ideal place from which to enjoy it.
