This was the perfect house and location for our family while we were visiting Athens. We only had 2 days to tour Athens and we wanted to visit the historical sites as well as get a feel for the city and do some sailing on the Aegean Sea. The house is located just below the Acropolis and smack dab in the middle of Plaka. It was so nice and convenient to literally walk outside of the house and have instant access to food, gelato, shopping, and the sites. The house was large, clean, had amazing views, and had just the charm and local flavor I was hoping for. We really lucked out on staying here! Sometimes you arrive at a house or a hotel and say, "this is not what the photos made it out to be." This house however, was even better than what the photos show. Nikolas, the host was also amazing and helped us arrange airport transfers, a great tour guide, and provided me with tons of helpful local hints for food and shopping. Here's my only hint, if you are a light sleeper you should bring earplugs. Since the house is located on a busy corner in the hub of Plaka, people are out enjoying the night until very late. I didn't have earplugs and slept just fine, but my wife had to use earplugs. Overall, I would give this house and the host 5 stars out of 5!
