I got the chance to stay at Ira's place and this made my stay in Athens more enjoyable. This was my first time in Greece and was a memorable one. Communicating with her before and during my stay was very easy, she responds very quickly. I felt her to be very sincere and welcoming even though I didn't get a chance to meet her.
The photos that was posted is an accurate representation of the apartment itself. It was clean and had everything I needed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable providing for a very good nights sleep. Note that as indicated on the description of the place, this is in a semi-basement that has a 15 step staircase. I was also able to wash my laundry while here. Check-in was as convenient as the check-out.
The location was perfect, it was in the centre of the major sites. On one side was the Acropolis and on the other was the Temple of Olympian Zeus. At the corner was a supermarket and the Acropoli metro station. There were also a number of bus stops that was close by. Restaurants, breakfast places, and coffee shops were a few steps away. I was able to walk my way through the Plaka district then to Monastiraki and all the way to Syntagma square, there were lots to see, taste and explore! There was also a left luggage service nearby that was very useful for me as my flight was at night. This was also close to the office of KeyTours, in case you join their tours. I also noticed that there were a lot of car rental companies nearby.
I loved my visit to Greece and can't wait to get back to Athens and won't hesitate to stay in Ira's place again.
