When you look at the photos you may think this could not possibly be the real view. But it absolutely is! The view is the first thing you will notice when you walk into the home and it will knock your socks off. It is just breathtaking. Everything else in the apartment is comfortable, beautiful and practical. The hosts are extremely helpful and we were able to get some great tips on places to eat and to see. The beds are very comfortable and there is ample hot water. The Acropolis is only a relatively short walk away and it is a must see historical site. Just a couple of blocks away there is a great little café called Trikyklo (tricycle in English) which is just absolutely charming and the prices are very good. My mom and I went to Athens as part of our European adventure that we had planned for almost 2 years and nothing about this leg of the trip disappointed us at all. It is a wonderful city and this is a great place to stay while you explore.
