Apostolos' place is in a perfect location very close to Acropolis metro and the Acropolis itself. The area is safe, if not a little touristy. There are many other districts to visit nearby which all have a different vibe. Apostolos himself could not have been nicer, meeting us at a local bar and showing us to the apartment. He was friendly and communication was great throughout. He gave us lots of tips about the area.
At the top of the building is a fantastic rooftop space where we went a few times. Apostolos provides cushions for the pallet furniture and you can take drinks up there. It was very hot so we took in the great views, but didn't stay long.
The apartment itself is very well equipped with everything you need. It's cool (in terms of temperature), which made it a great place to escape the August heat.
What really makes Apostolos' place stand out are the little personal touches: chocolates and biscuits made by his mum; little bottles of Raki, Limoncello and Ouzo in the fridge; a bottle of red for later. The bathroom too was stuffed with lovely toiletries.
We have already recommended Apostolos' place to friends and will definitely stay there again while in Athens.
Restaurant tip- we love Greek food but had been in Greece for 6 weeks and fancied a change. Namaste serves brilliant curry dishes- lots of vegetarian choices and good value for money.
