Staying at Eleni & Sakis’ place was PERFECT for a quick time in Athens before heading to the islands. Their apartment is in a secure building right in the thick of things - we were able to walk everywhere. The apartment is nicely furnished with a comfortable bed. Eleni was so easy and wonderful to deal with. She arranged us an airport pickup with her driver, Dimitrius, who was so helpful and kind and got us safely to the apartment (and was well priced, too. If you have the opportunity, book him so you don’t have to rely on a random taxi!). Eleni helped us settle in, gave us recommendations that turned out to be perfect, and was there to communicate quickly with us via WhatsApp during our stay, too. Everything was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Definitely stay here if you want to be able to walk around Monistiraki and Plaka - it’s a perfect spot and we always felt safe, as well.
