Fantastic apartment in a perfect location.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The blinds on each window provided privacy and light-blocking. Plenty of closet and storage space in the bedrooms and kitchen. The four balconies were a great addition to the already spacious apartment. From the large balcony off the living room and the medium sized balcony off the main bedroom, you can see the Acropolis and the Parthenon! Be sure to look at the Parthenon at night when it is lit up.
The neighborhood is perfect. From the apartment we walked everywhere. The Acropolis Museum is only a short walk away (along with the pedestrian street of restaurants that face the museum). We walked to all of the ancient sites from the apartment as wall as to the Plaka area, and to Ermou, the shopping street. For daily living, the apartment is close to all you need. Restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops and one of the best bakeries in town, Takis. Takis is a very short walk from the apartment and has classic Greek breads and desserts. The baklava is delicious. The convenience store, Kiosky’s, on the opposite corner from the apartment has great coffee/cappuccino.
We loved our stay in Upstreet’s apartment and would recommend any of their places.
