Nicholas was an incredibly helpful and thoughtful host, meeting us for an arrival in the early hours of the morning, providing essentials such as wine and bread, and allowing us a late departure as no-one else was arriving. In the emails beforehand, he also provided useful advice on Athens and such details as taxi arrangements from the airport. He also kept in touch while we were there.
The house is spectacular. Very spacious, furnished and equipped to a very high standard, well cared for and immaculately clean. The roof terrace is really lovely, with nice plants and furniture, but as it was chilly for our visit, we spent more time sprawled in the huge and comfortable living room. The kitchen is really well equipped, if you want to do some of your own catering.
The living room overlooks a couple of local streets and a small square, so feels like it's right in the heart of Plaka. It is quite a 'touristy' area, but you're just a few steps from quieter streets. You are also within easy walking distance of the Acropolis Museum, as well as the Parthenon and the other ancient sites in the city centre. We didn't need to use any transport at all, apart from arrival and departure.
All in all, a great place to stay right in the heart of Athens. It felt like good value, even though there were just two of us.
