Okay guys if you are looking for a PRIME location in Athens than John's Place is where you want to stay. It is truly in the heart of Athens, where everything you can think of is about 5 minutes or less away. Where else can you stay and have the Acropolis/Parthenon right behind you. The neighborhood is very inviting and the people are friendly. The apartment is exactly as it is pictured on the site and kid friendly (we traveled with our 19 month old). If you choose to take the hop on hop off buses then the stops are within minutes from the house. We didn't used them because everything is within walking distance even with a toddler. Hurry and book John's place you won't regret it!
