Beautiful apartment. Great location. This fabulous apartment is steps from Monastiraki square which has a metro stop for the line that takes you directly to the airport for less than 10 euros. Can't get much easier than that. It is also just a twenty minute walk to the Acropolis, a five minute walk to shopping on pedestrian Ermou Street. Great souvlaki joints are just adjacent to Monastiraki square. You're also just five minutes or so from the Ancient Agora (where it all started) and ten minutes from the Plaka. So if you're coming for shopping, sightseeing, eating or just stopping in Athens while island-hopping this is the place for you. For those who want their fix of home, there's also a Starbucks three minutes away, but why not go to Gregory's (the Greek Starbucks) at the corner from some tyropita with your espresso instead?
Enough about the location, the apartment itself is a mix of ancient and modern. The interior is sleek, clean and modern, but the exterior view!!! Wow! There is a wall of windows and a balcony which give you a jaw-dropping view of the ancient splendor of the Acropolis lit up every night in all its glory. You couldn't dream up a better view. BTW the air conditioning is great - we needed it and were grateful we had it. There's also a functional, little kitchen and, something my wife and I really appreciated, a washing machine. We travel light, carry-ons only, so this was a big bonus.
If you don't stay here...I will...again!
