Nikos was great and an incredible host. We were already in Athens in Plaka and we took the Metro and met Nikos where he picked us up and took us to the apartment. The apartment is on a hill so if you plan on walking with no car, just remember it does take some energy. You can take the bus, which is close by into Central Athens and takes about 20 minutes, easy. You'll find everything you need in the neighborhood, groceries, bakery, butcher, post office, etc. The Market that is two blocks away is perfect for easy meals and all your basic. They saw us every day and were so helpful even though we had some language barriers. Back to the apartment, it has everything you could need. You will feel like you are at home. Having the garden terrace was really nice for meals, but the best was the rooftop in the evenings to watch the sunset and sip on a glass of wine. It was so beautiful and you can see all the lights of the city. Really breathtaking. Nikos is really helpful with anything you need and to help you know where everything is located, even gives you a neighborhood map. If you want to get away from all the tourists, this is the place. You'll love it. We will be back for another visit.
