Lida met us at the appartment (we had her telephone no. and let her know when we had arrived in Athens); gave us information about the facilities, the locality and transport and offered to be of assistance at any time during our stay.

The apartment is in a good area with restaurants nearby and Plaka with its shops, restaurants and starting point for the Acropolis and Acropolis museum within walking distance. Buses and metro available but we walked everywhere. Everybody we had contact with in Greece was friendly and welcoming.

The apartments is exactly as described, being spacious, well appointed and clean. The balcony is large - more of a terrace and the view is amazing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a first choice for a stay in Athens. Airbnb proved a reliable site to secure the booking and they were very prompt and helpful when I had made a mistake in completing my details.
