Alex & Maria's place is a 10/10. The location can't be beat--when inside, it feels like your own private sanctuary, but right outside the door is a beautiful little plaza in the heart of the Plaka with great restaurants, shops, coffee & gelato right there. It was an easy walk to everything we wanted to see in Athens, so there was never a need for a taxi, and it was convenient to pop back "home" for a little break whenever needed. The large private rooftop terrace is gorgeous, with a spectacular view of the Acropolis. We enjoyed our breakfast there in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings. The apartment itself was as clean as could be, spacious, historic and charming. The hosts were so kind to leave us a wide assortment of food, coffee, wine, and candies, which we all loved and appreciated. Alex was always prompt and helpful in communications, and the hosts were proactive in helping us arrange transport. Highly recommend! We hope to stay here again in the future.
