Spyros’s apartment was lovely , stylishly finished with loads of great personal touches, wine, fruit, fresh flowers, slippers and even band aid in the bathroom for those Athen’s blisters!
The area is residential but with plenty of coffee shops, grocery stores & minor eateries. Spyros assured us that we were a 5 minute walk from the best Souvlaki in Athens - he was right! ( the place is called Best Taste, mainly take away but with cafe type diner if you can’t wait to tuck in).
Spyros is a delightful & helpful host. The apartment is walking distance (20 - 30 mins) from all major sights but as it is only 1 metro stop from the same sights we suggest you take the train and save your shoe leather for sightseeing - you will get plenty of exercise don’t you worry.
If you are driving parking is possible but tight in the area - persevere you will find somewhere ( we found a space 100 yds away).
Highly recommended for a couple - bit of a squeeze if there are 3/4 of you but even then it would be fine for a few days as there is a sofa bed in the living room.
