We really enjoyed our stay. Location - excellent for a first time visitor as a short walk or easy metro ride to the main sites/Piraeus for the ferries, but also convenient to walk to less-touristy restaurants at night (don’t just go downstairs to the array of restaurants-slash-sunglasses stands!) Balcony - while the view was somewhat blocked as the trees have grown since the photos were taken, nice place to sit with a glass of wine and people-watch the cafes through the leaves. It is a lively tourist scene but with the doors closed, very quiet. Interior - feels nicer than the photos make it look! Host - super communicative, accommodating of early checkin (SO nice with a morning arrival from the USA) and was over in no time to drop off some more paper products. FYI if you are traveling as two couples, look into combining this apartment A with the host’s other listing B. They share the same small entrance hall but are otherwise totally separate/ separate locks. B has only a small kitchenette while A (our rental) has a nicely equipped kitchen. Overall very pleased with our stay - made for a great base on our first visit to Athens!
