Our family of four had a wonderful time staying at Barbara's apartment for our stay in Athens. Check-in was a breeze and Barbara had kindly arranged for taxi transfers to and from the airport. The apartment is conveniently situated in the midst of the buzz of the Plaka but being on a pedestrian-only street a couple of blocks away from the main, touristy areas it was quiet and neighbourly. Many of the central ancient sites are within a 10-15 minute walk away, as are any number of great bars and restaurants. The apartment itself is comfortable and characterful. Our days were spent exploring so we didn't have an opportunity to fully appreciate the terrace but we certainly enjoyed the view and the kids spent an hour drawing the Acropolis after our visit there earlier that day. Very inspiring! Whilst we didn't meet Barbara, communication was excellent throughout and she was always quick to respond. I highly recommend the accommodation and would happily stay again on a return visit.
