STAY HERE!! We picked this place for the location, views, and value! Our expectations were exceeded: The owner had fantastic communication before our trip, met us at the apartment, gave us a map and insider tips about places to visit as well as gave us suggestions on where to go for meals. She even left a some local fruit, bread, homemade jam, and wine in the fridge for our first night there.
1) Location can't be beat! It is in a quiet (not touristy) residential neighborhood, but within 10-15 minutes walking to the Acropolis and Acropolis museum. You can also hike up Filopappou Hill from the apartment (just 5 minutes to the base). It is a 4-6 euros Uber ride to the Plaka neighborhood. The neighborhood restaurants (we tried 3) had fantastic food and were not accustomed to many tourists, but they spoke English so we were able to communicate very well. There is also a farmers' market on Friday mornings and it's 4 blocks away! Don't miss out on the bakery nearby either!!
2) The views of Athens are outstanding from the balcony, but especially from the rooftop terrace!! The owner has placed chairs on top to sit and watch the sunset. Beautiful!
3) The value can't be beat! It is a very clean, spacious apartment, with hair dryer, soap, coffee, sugar, etc!
Thank you for a great visit to Athens!!
