We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this apartment, and couldn't have hoped for a better experience. The apartment was spacious for our family of three, and is bright and airy. The bedrooms face the back and are very quiet. The Plaka neighborhood is touristy in a good way (lots of restaurants, shops, walkways), and is very safe. For those who wish to cook at home, the kitchen has all the essentials, and there's a mini-mart around the block for the basics. There are several good takeout places right under the apartment, for salads and sandwiches. Car rental places are within walking distance.

As everyone else has mentioned, the view of the Acropolis is pure magic; on several evenings, we enjoyed a glass of wine out on the deck, under the lights of the Acropolis, with music coming from the street below.

Panos was a gracious and helpful host--he spent about a hour with us when we first arrived, orienting us to the apartment and neighborhood. He even walked out a few blocks to meet us in our taxi to help with carrying luggage, as our taxi couldn't pull up in front of the building (the building is on a pedestrian-only street). The building does have an elevator, for those who travel with a lot of bags.

We'd stay at this apartment again if we're in Athens, and recommend it without reservations to others.
