The apartment is full of character and provides an ecclectic experience. With two or three train stops to the central CBD of Athens there is easy access to most tourist spots. The grocery shop is within easy walking distance (two streets blocks) and there are a number of bakeries close by. Restaurants are better closer to the city, but a late night train ride adds to the ambience of being in Athens. The rooftop verandah is a great space for entertaining - though the cooler months of the year require more inside time out of the rain and snowy breeze (still great view of Pantheon lit up at night). The host is fantastic and was very helpful throughout our stay.
