We really had a great stay here, and Rania could not have been nicer or more helpful. The location is amazing -- it's literally at the foot of the Acropolis and has great views of Athens from the terrace. All of central Athens is within walking distance, and the Acropolis Museum is a 5-minute walk. The Plaka neighborhood is extremely touristy, but the apartment is farther up the hill on a cul-de-sac with lots of trees, so it's like an oasis. The apartment is modern, spotless, and very quiet at night. During the day, there's a fairly constant trickle of locals and tourists who stop to chat with Kyria Popi downstairs. We really loved this aspect of the apartment, it really felt welcoming and full of life.

Rania went *way* out of her way to bail us out when we made the unfortunate decision to bring our rental car into central Athens. And when she found out we hadn't eaten since breakfast, Kyria Popi prepared a full Greek lunch for us -- and then made rice pudding for for dessert! We were very touched and honored this spontaneous warmth and kindness, it really made our stay in Athens unforgettable.
