I took a couple buddies for their first visit to Athens, and Roland's apartment couldn't have been better located for a pure tourist visit. All the sites and all the eating and shopping districts are easy walks. There is some street noise, which is kind of unavoidable in these neighborhoods of the city, but it wasn't loud or crazy enough to affect our sleep. The apartment itself is modern and spacious, with plenty of natural light and a view of two streets. The hot water is actually hot. You can't flush your toilet paper, but that's common throughout the city due to pipe diameter. There are plenty of power outlets and separate air conditioners in each room. One recommendation if you're thinking about booking: confirm with Roland that the Internet service is operating. When we arrived and connected, we just got a page from the ISP indicating that the service had been shut off due to nonpayment. I reached out to Roland, but never got a response. Three days later, it was still off. Not having Internet wasn't fatal thanks to cellphone tethering, but it was quite a hassle when dealing with visas and boarding passes and other necessary online transactions. If it is back online, though, I'd definitely recommend this apartment.
