Due to the superb location of Marika's apartment in Athens, we had an amazing time in this great city. Right in the middle of Plaka area, we were easily able to walk to all the main sights and nightlife in central Athens. The location allowed us to make pit stops at the apartment in between sight seeing, which made the experience much more comfortable.

Not to mention the great view of the Acropolis from your bed. Only minus was the construction ongoing at the large building directly across the street. Marika notified us well in advance (3 weeks before our trip) about the construction and offered us another one of his apartments. We decided to stick with this one due to the view of the Acropolis and location near Constitution Square. No regrets at all, as the construction did not bother us. It was just a bit of an eyesore from the beautiful balcony.

Otherwise just be aware, the apartment is on the roof of an office building - you take the elevator to the 7th floor then stairs to the roof where you enter the apartment via glass sliding doors. No complaints there either, as the privacy was great.

Marika was super responsive via email. I would gladly stay with him again when visiting Athens!
