What a great place to spend a week in Athens- we could have stayed there a month! A beautiful apartment, so well equipped with access to a million-dollar view of the Parthenon from the private roof terrace...
The neighborhood was ideal for us to spend the week walking to all the prime areas of interest- Acropolis, Plaka, Pryrri, Parliament area. Easy metro access. Like most of Athens the first impression was perhaps a bit "gritty" but we quickly grew to appreciate the sense of living in a "real" neighborhood that was safe and most importantly for us SO QUIET.
Diana and Dimitris were the perfect hosts providing everything you could want including access to their library which was busting with interesting books to leaf through (on the terrace of course!). Their suggestions were spot on and their offer to help arrange with airport transfers and some dinner reservations was really appreciated and helpful.
What else? Comfortable beds, welcome snacks & fruits, a well-stocked kitchen, good strong showers, neoclassical details...
I really can't think of a thing to complain about except that we did have to eventually leave!
