We came to Athens to run the Athens marathon on Nov 8th, & booked this place for 6 nights. Its an old house that has been completely refitted into a 2 room apartment. It was perfect for 3 of us - my wife and I took the downstairs bedroom & my sister-in-law slept in the loft upstairs. ( technically its not a bedroom, but its very cozy & can sleep 2). The location was great, we walked all over, (its a nice, safe neighborhood) made the circuit around the Acropolis through Plaka & Monastiraki & back several times - its about 4 km to go all the way around. Thisso metro station is very close by & convenient. There is a bakery, supermarket & plenty of cafes to dine in very close by, as well as an authentic taverna just around the corner, where you buy your lamb chops by the kilo! We even walked back from the Marathon finish at Kalimarmaro stadium to the house. Ellie (Panos' mom) was a wonderful host, she even arranged a day cruise for us to Hydra, Poros & Aegina, and Christos picked us up at the airport, even dropped us early on Sunday morning in Marathon for the race start, and was extremely helpful. Of all the amenities, I found the pocket kitchen most delightful, an entire functional kitchen packaged into a kitchen cupboard sized space. The washer and the drying rack also proved to be handy, to wash all that soaked through race gear. And the wi-fi was flawless. All in all, we had a great stay & I would recommend this place to any one.
