I highly recommend staying at Dionysia’s home if it is available.
* Great location in the old area of Plaka, at the foot of the Acropolis.
* Very warm feeling in the home, with lots of light and room to stretch out over multiple floors (privacy when traveling with family/friends)
* Quiet backstreet but easy access to all of the sites/restaurants, etc
* Dionysia was very helpful with suggestions on how to spend your trip
* This is the only place I would stay when in Athens
