Excellent location, very trendy decor. Nice and secure apartment block. 5min from acropolis, which is just about viewable off the balcony though neighbours blind blocks it. Easy walking to restaurants, and several food shops within 1 min for essentials. Great communication from owner, just need more than 3 mugs!
The apartment was very clean and ample. We took advantage of the washer/dryer as well as the complimentary Nespresso and pods! The apartment is ideally located. The Acropolis and Acropolis Museum are short walk or can ride away as well many of the other museums and sights. Also, a mini market and a regular market are less than three blocks away. We also visited Fratti, the bar/restaurant with great food and drinks, which is located right across the street.
Everything about this VRBO is 5 out of 5. The host was friendly, helpful and organized. The place itself was wonderful, You are very close to the archeology park, the museum, plaka, and monastiraki. The local neighborhood has great coffee (coffee dive), wonderful bakery (the cinnamon swirls were great). We ate at the Fritta restaurant across the street almost every day. The minimart across from the Fritta had everything we forgot at home.
Great location. Once your in the unit it has everything you need. Automatic storm shades provide some day rooms and great for sleeping after a long flight. I would stay here again.
