The apartment is in a superb location in Plaka, the historic heart of Athens. It is about five minutes on foot from the nearest Metro station (Akropoli). The entrance to the apartment is in a narrow street. The first entrance leads from the street into a quiet and pretty courtyard. There is an elevator to the second floor, where the entrance to the apartment itself is located.
The apartment comprises three levels. The entrance level contains an open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting area, and a large en-suite bedroom (with a large wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe). The next level up contains a very spacious sitting-room, with a variety of contemporary sofas and chairs and a large flat-screen television. The top level is a roof terrace, with a wooden table and chairs, plants, and the most stunning view of the Acropolis (floodlit at night).
The whole apartment is very tastefully decorated, equipped to an unusually high standard and is absolutely immaculate. I have rented many apartments over the years, and the combination of location and quality make this one of the very best I have ever experienced. The owner, Miltos, is very friendly and helpful, and can offer advice on nearby restaurants etc.
There are a couple of apartments located in the same building, and they usefully have a shared washing-machine, tumble-drier and drying racks. The apartment is fully air-conditioned.
I strongly recommend the apartment for couples. Although the location is so central, the apartment is incredibly quiet. The bedroom faces the inner courtyard, and not the street.
Thank you, Miltos, for making my stay so enjoyable and comfortable.
