AMAZING!!! I don't even know where to start in describing what a nice time I had. Sakis was a wonderful host, the epitome of Greek hospitality. I arrived early and left late, which Sakis was perfectly happy to accommodate. Upon arriving, I discovered how terrific the location of the apartment it. At the footsteps of the Acropolis, easy walking distance to the Akropolis, Monastiraki, and Syntagma's metro stops. The neighborhood is breathtaking, walkways with hanging flowers, neoclassical architecture, live traditional greek [bouzouki] music at the restaurant next door at night. There is even a small medieval church next to the building. Sakis met me at a cafe next door with his daughter and welcomed me into the apartment. He gave me a tour, ensured everything was satisfactory, and even showed me the rooftop from which you can see the Akropolis above you and Lycabettus mountain. Stunning! The apartment was perfect, pressed and clean linen, spotless, newly renovated with all the modern perks you can hope for and even some extra ones. Sakis was very easy to reach and very amendable and accommodating. I really did feel like family. There was fresh fruit, chocolates, crackers, and a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and the same in the kitchen on the rooftop terrace so that you could lounge, view the beauty of Plaka, and marvel at the Akropolis above.
Bottom line: the location, ambiance, hospitality, apartment, amenities were all perfect. I can't recommend it more highly. Thank you Sakis and hope to see you again on my next visit to Athens!
