Location:
This is the best part of this. The view is spectacular and just as pictured. The walk to Acropolis, Plaka, and other areas is so quick, so you can maximize your time! If you want to do the hop on hop off bus, the stop is about a 5 minute walk. Can’t say enough
Apartment:
The apartment itself is very nice and has PLENTY of space. In my opinion, the pics make it look a bit higher end than it is, but it is by no means low end! Everything is fresh and clean and is outfitted with everything you could possibly need, including a nespresso machine & pods! You can adjust the heat and air as needed. Also you can take in the beautiful neighborhood and Acropolis views in right from the balcony or the extraordinary rooftop lounge.
Check-in:
We are traveling internationally so I typically will only do self check in. That is not available here, but the host took great pains to ensure they were there early to greet us and share things that may not be common for Americans at least (such as how the boiler worked, which keys to use, how to get to the rooftop, not to throw toilet paper). Do yourself a favor and either ensure you have a Greek SIM card or make sure you have your maps pulled up so you can find the location.
Family notes:
Perfect place for a family! Safe area and even had baby cups, etc. plenty of room to store a stroller or other gear that comes with having a fam. Note that Greeks in genera are super kid-friendly and may talk to, touch, or give your kids gifts. This can be jarring for Americans so keep it in mind and just watch closely if you are concerned. We found it to be very sweet.
Final thoughts:
I would absolutely recommend this place! It’s a bit pricier than other nearby places so if you are on a tight budget, maybe keep looking. For us, it had everything we needed plus a little extra, so we would do it again.
