Ira was a wonderful host and her apartment is a interesting quirky part of town. And Oleg was very kind in waiting for us as our flight was late and was very knowledgeable and helpful and also returned next morning to reset the showers for us! The air-conditioning and smart TV were a wonderful bonus and especially welcome in very hot weather. The apartment is very stylish and is as lovely as it looks in the photographs and the view of the Acropolis is just sublime! Everything is in easy distance especially as taxis are plentiful and very cheap (about 4 euros to the Plaka) and the balcony is both large and very comfortable. I'd really recommend staying in Ira's apartment - it was really wonderful. Joan, York
