This is the best place to stay if you are visiting Athens regardless if you are a tourist or someone who grew up there like us. The balcony is overviewing the Makrygianni road pedestrian zone and the back side of the Museum. You will have to draw the curtains if you wish not to be seen from the Museum visitors! The flat is comfortable and furnished in a style typical of gone-by Athenian glamorous family flats. The bed is excellent as is the sofa bed in the living room which opens up to a small double if you want to take a nap. For hot water, always remember to switch on the heater 10 mins before and turn it off while you wash. This is a caution leftover from the old days in Athens, but as explained you are living in the historical centre! The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a dining room for up to 6 guests. The balcony is perfect for your evening tea or late drinks. There is a supermarket nearby, an excellent pastry shop next to the main entrance and souvlaki take away on the other side but we haven't tried his skills. The place is literally a step from the tube station and a very pleasant stroll will lead you to Plaka and Monastiraki. There is a fantastic Italian restaurant around the corner, Aglio, Olio and Pepperoncino as well as the Winepoint, a few greek restaurants a Pharmacy and some accessory stores for your souvenirs. This is the perfect location and a very friendly place to live in Athens.
