Come for the view, stay for the comfort.
The apartment has a balcony offering tremendous views of the north side of the Acropolis. Most of the Parthenon can be seen. It terrific fun to photograph sunrise (bring a telephoto lens). But, this apartment is not just about the view.
The amenities are many. A comfortable bed (firm mattress);it’s clean; warm in December, offers dining al fresco on a balcony. The kitchen is well stocked (for cooking) and well thought out. On arrival, we were greeted by Katerina’s son who showed us the ins-and-outs of the apartment. My wife and I made a lot of use of the balcony, taking most meals - even in December - there (we did have to wear down coats). There is a backgammon set so you can sip wine, play a game, and take in a fantastic vista. You can’t help but look forward to returning to the apartment and relaxing in a comfortable setting with a fantastic view.
The location is excellent. It’s a 10~15 minute walk to the white houses of the Plaka; Syntagma Square; and a little further to get to museum row. You can easily walk to the far side of the Acropolis and visit the Temple if Zeus, the Acropolis Museum, and enter the Acropolis. The apartment is also fairly close to the main market of Athens, so you can buy fresh vegetables and olives of quality and quantity at fairly good prices.
Katerina’s a helpful and supportive host. She responds quickly to any communications.
I would not hesitate to return to Athens and book Katerina’s apartment when I do.
