If you are looking for the perfect location in Athens - this is it. Two blocks from the Acropoli subway, Acropolis Museum, and the less-busy entrance to the Acropolis - the pedestrian only walkway starts here and spreads all over the Plaka. The neighborhood is stellar - charming cafes, restaurants for all tastes, interesting shops, self-service laundromats, well-stocked supermarket, travel agency on one corner - church on another, ice cream downstairs, laundry, fruit/veggie market, and crepe place across the street- it's all here (and more!) in a neighborhood that is pleasant, safe and comfortable. Stephania lives in another apt on the same floor so if you need anything, she's right there - if not, she gives you privacy. Hot water and great water pressure and a kitchen well-stocked for both long and short term stays. Unbelievable value. I appreciated the responsive communication with Stefania and would be happy to stay here again. Highly recommend.
