The apartment was actually bigger than I expected, and it was exactly what we needed for 2 couples. It is only a 10 to 15 min walk to so many amazing places to explore. If you use Uber, you can get taxis that are inexpensive, and there a many of them, so it is very easy to get around Athens.
We did go to the beach they recommend to us, which was like being at a beachfront resort. Since it was 100°F, it was refreshing to spend the day there.
I did get to meet our host, who I immediately liked. He was also very helpful and always replied to any questions quickly. He also arranged our pick up from the airport, which was perfect.
Then, of course, the view is amazing. We never got tired of the view!
