We loved staying at Amalia's apartment!
Although Amalia could not be there to greet us, she gave us very clear instructions on how to collect the key from the lock-box next to the door.
The apartment was very well designed/decorated and immaculately clean. The location couldn't be any better, placed right in the heart of Plaka at the base of the Acropolis very close to a plethora of (albeit tourist-y and slightly overpriced) restaurants (although I highly recommend Ouzeri Kouklis (2 minute walk away) for cheap traditional meze).
Amalia had left us four sachets of instant coffee, four pods of UHT milk, one cereal bar, a 50ml bottle of olive oil and vinegar. However for some reason there was only a single sachet each of salt and pepper - if you want to season more than one portion of food then you will have to purchase your own.
One of the best features of the apartment was the macerator, which allows you to dispose of toilet paper in the toilet. In all my visits to Greece, this is the only apartment that has had this!!!
The WiFi was very fast, I measured it to be around 91 Mbps - however the network is shared across all apartments in the property which allows guests in other apartments to control the TV!
There are some things worth noting:
- Not pictured on the shared balcony/terrace is a very large and loud air-conditioning unit. Unfortunately this put us off from spending any time there as the noise would have quickly become uncomfortable.
- On Friday and Saturday until around 1 AM, there was live music playing just outside the door which was easily audible from the bed area.
