Elina's place has an INCREDIBLE private patio, super safe and secure. It is the penthouse of the entire building, a little studio apartment that is owned by the downstairs residence. So, it has it's own private entrance to the roof/patio. Elina was SO incredibly kind, helping me out right away when I had a question and worried about some water on the floor (it was my own error and she was just so pleasant- and on the national holiday of March 2nd, also!). The building is right in the heart of the Plaka, just 2 minutes walk from Syntegma Square, and less than a mile walk up to the Acropolis- and you get to stroll through Monastiraki along the way. The place is small, but it has everything you need. Wifi was REALLY fast, and the bed and pillows were comfy. I would absolutely stay here again if I travel back through Athens!
