We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was exactly as advertised. What it doesn't fully capture is the excellent location and the outstanding hospitality provided by Vickie.
The apartment is in a quiet, residential neighbourhood that felt safe and well lit. We were travelling with five adults and four children of all ages, so finding a comfortable and convenient location for us was very important. Before booking, we were slightly hesitant after seeing graffiti on Google Earth, but once there we realized that graffiti is common throughout Athens and it isn't an indication of the safety or quality of the area.
The apartment was ideal for us. The air conditioning worked very well, with a unit in every room, and having three bathrooms and two showers made mornings much easier for everyone. The location was excellent. The Acropolis is about a 10-minute walk away, and Plaka is around 15 minutes. These were enjoyable walks, even in the evening, and we always felt comfortable and safe.
We had a couple of minor issues during our stay: the kettle stopped working, and we accidentally locked ourselves out (don't leave the second set of keys inside the door when you leave). In both cases, Vickie responded immediately and resolved everything quickly, even late at night and on weekends. She was warm, helpful, and exceptionally responsive.
We would highly recommend this apartment for families or larger groups looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay in Athens.
