Pygmalion's apartment in the heart of Plaka, was in the perfect location if you're trying to be in the center of Athens with no rental car! We couldn't have asked for anything better, for being new Athens travelers. The acropolis site/ruins and acropolis museum are right outside your door...literally a few steps away. Downstairs and also right outside the door from this cute apartment, are countless restaurants everywhere you look there are shops and things to do without needing transportation. If you stay here you won't be disappointed! We didn't want to leave, the city doesn't shut down when the sun goes down, its very lively but not noisy. Pygmalion was very communicable and offered suggestions. We felt safe at all times, you must have a key to enter the bldg. We were a 30min drive from the airport and 10min drive from the Pireaus ferry port.
