The view of the Acropolis is amazing! The photo is the actual view, without zoom. Many times apartment photos show the view and then use zoom to make the thing of interest appear closer. In this case, we couldn't have been much closer to the Acropolis. The area is Plaka which is where a lot of restaurants and shops are, the tourist area. It's very convenient to see the sights. Annie showed us in and explained everything very well. There is a folder with all the sights and restaurant recommendations, plus emergency phone numbers, which I really appreciate. When we rang the taxi number Annie gave us from the apartment land line they knew the location immediately, a great convenience.
