Lida was very responsive before we had arrived and communicated all that we needed. We arrived at the scheduled time and Lida was waiting to take us up to the beautiful rooftop apartment. The first thing that strikes you is the view of the Acropolis, which changes with the different light during the day. All the amenities were as described. The airconditing worked well as did the shower and washing machine. We didn't cook in the kitchen but you were able to if so desired.
Lida gave us her recommendations for restaurants close by and she is a lovely personable host who makes you feel very welcome. There is a lovely square called Pl Varnava which is a 5 minute walk that has many coffee shops, bars, cake shops and restaurants which we went to for dinner and morning coffee and pastries. All were fabulous. Also the 2 Michelin starred Spondi is only a 5 minute walk which is well worth eating at if you can.
It's about a 15 minute walk to the nearest Metro station or 30 minutes into the centre of Athens (Acropolis / syntagma Square). We were happy walking different ways into Athens Centre as you come across different neighbourhoods and shops. The surrounding area felt very safe with a supermarket literally a 3 minute walk from the apartment. Lida gave us her contact details but we didn't need to contact her as we had no problems.
The best part was having your morning coffee and pastries on the balcony with the Acropolis view. Unbeatable.
We would thoroughly recommend staying here again especially if you want to experience the real Athens as locals do and look forward to doing so next time we are in Athens.
