It is difficult for me to imagine a better apartment for an Athens vacation. The view of the Acropolis from the pool and the living room simply defies description. Nor do photos do it justice. It is spectacular.
The apartment itself is spacious and luxurious. Needless to say, it can get hot in Athens in the summer and having the pool to relax in and enjoy a glass (or two) of wine on the patio next to the pool will literally bring you back to life after a day of touring.
The location is great - we walked everywhere. There is not a need for a car, but if you don't want to walk, Uber will get you anywhere that matters for 5 or 6 €.
Finally, Michael managed the apartment for our visit and my sisters and I want to adopt him. He made us immediately welcome and his attention to detail and our comfort while we were in Athens was unwavering. He also mixes some pretty awesome adult beverages.
This was a family trip for us - a unique opportunity for my extended family to share a trip to one of the most beautiful and historically significant places on the planet. Our stay at Vassili's apartment will forever be a highlight of not just this trip but of our time together as a family.
I certainly hope that anyone reading this review appreciates how special our stay was and how both Vassilis and Michael were a critical part of making this happen. I similarly hope that anyone looking for a similar experience reach out to Vassilis to see if his apartment is available.
