I would highly recommend staying at Dimitris' apartment. The location is ideal: only about a five minute walk from the Ancient Agora and 10-15 minutes from the Acropolis with multitudes of shopping and eating opportunities in the neighborhood.

As good as the location is, the best part is the living space on the roof. It is enclosed in a "glass box" that provides the room with a 360 degree view of Athens. Great place for a bottle of wine and a sunset. Even if the weather does not cooperate, there is a heater to warm the room and all the doors could be opened to create a nice breeze.

I was met Dimitris' father at the apartment, who greeted me warmly and even left some fresh fruit for me to enjoy. I visited two weeks before Christmas; Dimitris' father had decorated the apartment with a few "happy holidays" signs. They were a nice holiday touch.

I cannot recommend this apartment enough!
