What a wonderful experience! Oh my goodness! Saki and his partners greeted us and instantly made us feel warmly welcomed as if we were old friends. They carried our luggage, showed us the apartment, the building, the rooftop view and even walked us over to a wonderful ancient church around the corner that we noticed when we arrived.
The apartment and building, while old, was newly renovated, with lots of nice little touches, everywhere, immaculate, comfortable and like a little romantic hideaway, including a private little patio just off the bedroom area. There were plenty of toiletries provided, although we had our own. And there were also 2 pairs of packaged slippers, which a lot of places are providing nowadays, also a hairdryer, which is a big help so I didn't have to look for my adapter and use my own, risking a power surge.
Sakis even left us with a bottle of wine and some chocolates, to celebrate my birthday.
The apartment is literally just below the Acropolis and the view, particularly at night, takes your breath away. It is centrally located in a very nice part of the Plaka, where all the action and energy is just a short walk away. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and a short walk to the Acropolis and other sights.
Communication was perfect. Sakis was just a text or call away all the time. Loved this place! Unfortunately we only stayed one night, the night before our flight back to the US, after spending a week in Santorini. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect refuge in the city of Athens...with some new "friends".
