Barbara is awesome and her place is just as awesome! First of all, location, location, location and the balcony (!!!, seriously the it's a million dollar view of the Acropolis)...the Plaka neighborhood is everything you want from Athens. Very nice, and the apartment is convenient to everything. You can easily walk, grab a taxi or catch the metro to anything in Athens. The Acropolis is basically your backyard, it takes 10 minutes or less to get there. Overall, we loved the place and would look to rent it again while in Athens!
