30 steps from Athinas st. and edging a market and dining district off Monastiraki Square I loved the neighborhood. Don't let the graffiti dissuade you from exploring, you are safe as houses in the daylight, and if you have to be told to stay out of unlit alleys in a strange city after midnight you should stay at home. Athens I found is a walking city, though easy to use public transport, (buy a money-belt and stay off the metro with luggage and when it is crowded), this apartment has a weeks worth of wonder within a 20 minute walk. Don't stay 2 days if you can stay 20.
The Apartment itself is warm and welcoming, even its spare surfaces and minimalist design is refreshingly cool and open in the warm daylight. The ancient name of Greece, Hellas, translates to,"The warmth between sun and stone", and here you feel those words truly. A subtle eye for colors in cushions and rugs, cold water and treats waiting for you, making yourself at home is a pleasure to be envied. Having wandered the earths circumference a half dozen times I can think of no bed I would rather in again more than this one.
