What a pleasure to stay in an apartment where the reality exceeded even our best expectations. For a start, we were met by the delightful Eleni, who showed us around the facilities and made sure we had multiple means of contacting her in case of a problem (which there wasn't).
The flat is indeed, artistic and beautiful; decorated with sparkling mosaics and enhanced by carefully selected furnishings, craftworks and literature that bespeak the owner's warm and talented personality. It was also impeccably clean.
Soula provided a host of extras that were above and beyond 'need to have'; but certainly nice to.
The location is superb for getting to all the key places in Athens and the balcony, with its views, is breathtaking. I had my birthday breakfast overlooking the city; eating the bread and pastries bought fresh from the nearby bakery; together with my nearest and dearest. It was bliss.
In practical terms, there's an enormously helpful, well illustrated guide book compiled by Soula; and it's easy to find provisions from the local shops. Very comfy beds and well appointed bedrooms. Be prepared for a few steep climbs and stepped streets!
Overall, excellent value and we would certainly return there.
