A lovely, centrally located, yet quiet, place to stay in Athens. The apartment is very comfortable and has a cozy vibe, even though it's spacious. Steps away is a neighborhood outdoor cafe, lined with orange trees and a quiet square where small children play. Further is a hip neighborhood of cafes and unique small shops. Also steps away is the verdant Lycabettus Hill. A gentle hike up its wildflower strewn slopes brings you to a small monastery built in the hillside and expansive views of the city, including the Acropolis. A very special place to get perspective on the city. A walk downhill takes you into Syntagma Square, to the hip Monastiraki neighborhood's cafes and to the beginning of the Plaka and the tiny, ancient streets surrounding the Acropolis. From the hosts to the young woman in the bakery across the street, everyone is so nice and helpful, making this an instant 'home away from home' in Athens.
