Elana's apartment is magical. It was spotlessly clean, has a super comfortable bed, a beautiful shower, and a well stocked kitchen area. It was a nice surprise to find the washing machine - easy to use and fast! - and to be able to wash clothes during my stay. There are incredible views from the two balconies, including a great view of the Acropolis.
The location couldn't be better, right by Athens' beautiful Plaka area, and all its wonderful tavernas and cute streets. The Acropolis museum and the main shopping area are both only 10 minutes walk away. Make sure you take a walk through the nearby National Gardens, with its terrapins, alpine mountain goats and peacocks.
I can highly recommend the Alfa Sigma Wine and Spirit Store, two minutes walk down Filellinon from the apartment - amazing selection of Greek wine and great knowledge. The snack bar, Victory, on the ground floor of the apartment building is also a super friendly place.
