The location of the house is spectacular -- you are right in the heart of Plaka, with a stunning view of the Acropolis above you. This neighborhood is really fun to walk around in -- tiny lanes & lots of restaurants & cafes spread throughout. You are also within walking distance to the main square, for other kinds of shopping & markets & food. There are lots of steps to walk, and you should be comfortable with this. We had my parents with us -- both in their 70s, and my dad has some knee problems, but did fine walking around at a slower pace. As for the house, we were eight people (5 adults and 3 teenagers), and the space worked well for us. There are two common areas (upstairs and downstairs), and it felt very spacious and comfortable for all of us to be there. The only thing we really had to negotiate was sharing 2.5 baths. The wi-fi works well, the kitchen has lots of amenities if you want to cook (we did one day), and there are extra blankets. We can at the start of the tourist season, so it was still a bit cold, but you can control the heat & that worked well for us. Nicolas was a great host -- though we did not meet -- he communicated quickly & thoughtfully at all times. He also arranged a car for us at the airport to bring us directly to the house, and left a bunch of recommendations for places to eat, day trips, etc. This is a nice spot & a good value. I would definitely recommend it!
