This apartment was a fantastic base for our family's first trip to Athens. It was just outside the main tourist area (Plaka), only a 15 minute walk from the Acropolis and many other sites. We preferred living in a regular Greek neighborhood (Koukaki), as there was a cute pedestrian street right below our apartment (and a few adjacent) with cafes and restaurants. We were able to leave our school-age kids upstairs one night for a couple of hours while we had wine and appetizers downstairs - I probably would not have felt comfortable if we had wandered further afield, so this was an unexpected bonus of adult time facilitated by the apartment's location. There was a grocery store, bakery, and gourmet deli type place within a couple of minutes walk, as well. The apartment was sparkling clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed; key on the list was a washing machine as we packed lightly, and a/c in every room but the kitchen and bathroom, since this was August! Stella was very sweet and met us for our late night arrival (after our flight was delayed and our driver got lost); she also helped arrange a taxi out and gave us some good tips on island and beach adventures. In all, this was an amazing visit in Athens - we'd definitely return and highly recommend it.
