We had a great experience with Dean's team and this apartment! Communication before check-in was a breeze, and Michalis, the taxi driver that Dean works with, met us at the airport as planned. It was definitely worth the extra few Euros to have someone waiting for us who knew exactly where the apartment was and how to get there. The location is perfect-- we were able to get fresh fruit every morning from the market while being within short walking distance to the major sights of Athens.

As for the place itself, everything in the apartment is brand new and of very high quality- from the bathroom fixtures to the kitchen utensils- and the original artwork on the walls is the perfect finishing touch. The apartment is bright and the view over the rooftops from the bedroom (and the shower!) is great. The view of the Acropolis from the balcony and the roof was amazing as well. A high chair was provided for our toddler, which was very helpful. When a glitch occurred with the electricity during our check-in, (we blew a fuse somewhere in the basement when we turned on all the heaters at once,) an entire team of people was mobilized to help resolve the issue, despite the fact that it was a national holiday-- a big thank you to Yannis, Lia, and Chris for resolving it as quickly as possible.

Heating in the apartment is a bit tricky-- Athens was quite cold when we were there and we were asked to only keep two heaters on at one time (including the hot water heater), making it a bit of a juggling act to decide which room to keep warm while the water heated up, etc. Nevertheless, we understand that the electrical load of the heaters is quite high and we were able to avoid overwhelming the system for the rest of our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again. Thank you to Dean and his team for a very pleasant stay in Athens.
