So I am having trouble trying to work out where to begin with my glowing review of Yannis's apartment and my stay, but still not sure because it was just SPECTACULAR. There it is, the beginning of my review. SPECTACULAR. One word only.
If you do not stay here, you are foolish beyond words.
First off, there is the view, which is AMAZING beyond belief, the Acropolis right there in front of you in all its glory. Not a side view or a tiny little view from some window, NO, out on the balcony, face on is the Acropolis. So if you do not like the whole touristy thing, the view from this apartment is where you need to be.
Next is the host himself, get ready to be critiqued over your top 5 movies. (Yes he is a movie buff) He does make a mean Expresso from his new machine. Yannis was a fantastic guide, and loved to talk about movies and Athens. Loved him.
The apartment itself is clean and what a space. My room was mosquito proofed and is completely private and at the back of the apartment so was quiet. The only thing was the church bells ringing out there music, but they were completely charming and part of the Plaka Experience.
And for the solo ladies, there is a lock on the door for your complete privacy, not that you need it with Yanni's as he is a complete gentleman.
So if you like travelling in Style, having a superb place to be with a brilliant host, love shopping and love to be in the heart of Athens, the Plaka, this is your place to stay.
It was SPECTACULAR.....................
