This was a great place to stay, as is the area. You are close enough to walk to near shops/bars/restaurants, and taxis are everywhere and relatively cheep to get you to the main part of the sites. We found it easy to walk through the neighborhood to get to the main areas. There were hills and steps along the way...but hey...you're in Athens.
A great shopping area, bars and restaurants within a few blocks. Not bad to walk around the area.
Place was older than expected, but nothing that made it uncomfortable.
