Effie's apartment is very spacious and feels like a home. We did not get the chance to meet Effie herself, since we only had the afternoon/evening to see Athens after a long stay elsewhere in Greece, but she left us the key in an agreed place and was very helpful as to how to arrive and how to get around. You can easily take the metro from the apartment to the Acropolis, but since we had so little time to tour Athens we took a taxi there and back, about 5-8 Euros each way, which was fine. It was very interesting to live in a real Athens building in a real neighbourhood, not a hotel, and the apartment is well-appointed. The bathroom was also spacious and pleasant to use. The apartment could easily host four people. We both felt that Effie's place is great value for money.
