Nikos' apartment provided the perfect base for a week of site-seeing with a family of 2 adults and 3 kids, aged 10, 13 and 15. The apartment is perfectly situated in the relaxed Kerameikos, close to some great restaurants (really recommend Cartone- friendly and lovely food) and also perfectly situated for trips to ancient sites. The apartment easily accommodated us five, with the really well laid out bedrooms, excellent air conditioning and fast wifi pleasing everyone. My kids are big and with all symptoms of teenagerdom, but even so there was no sense of them being cramped. The roof terrace was perfect for evening meals and wine while watching the sunset. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed cooking a few meals. We had a fantastic trip to the beach (tram to Edem), some wanders around the observatory and hill, an evening at Thissio outdoor cinema (refreshingly relaxed compared to the UK), a day on the Acropolis, and trips to Neo Kosmos and Victoria to see family. Whatever we did, the apartment was easy to get back to and the area felt safe.
Nikos is an excellent host, with lovely touches like tea and coffee, and excellent communication in response to any query. One of my favourite things was the house manual that Nikos has made which as well as containing guides to appliances etc contains a fascinating report about the five pictures that hang above the sofa. These span different time periods and show different ways that drawing was used as record and map- don't forget to read it!
If I am lucky enough to get to Athens again I would definitely seek out Nikos' apartment again.
