The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Plaka - it is near shops, restaurants, archeological sites and the new museum. It is also surprisingly quiet even though the area is humming into the late hours. The hosts are knowledgeable and helpful with excellent suggestions in terms of things to do in the area.
Keep in mind that the apartment is located in an older building so has no lift - not easy climbing 2 flights of stairs with heavy luggage and a toddler.
The apartment itself is spacious and homely - it has no TV so perfect for getting comfortable on the couch with a book. I would recommend that they get a microwave though as it would have made reheating food for the toddler easier.
