If I could move into Leonidas' apartment, I would. It's located in the upscale diplomatic quarter of Athens and can be accessed by foot or public transportation. Perfectly sized for one or two people, the room ticked all of my boxes: comfortable, quiet, and air-conditioned! The huge window overlooking the terrace provides beautiful views at dusk. If you stay here, be sure to pop down to Philos for the best eggs and coffee in town! Leonidas' recommendation was spot-on.

I didn't get to meet Leonidas, but he provided clear instructions prior to my arrival. As I was visiting during the Greek bailout referendum, he very kindly checked in on me/the situation via WhatsApp. [For what it's worth, I felt very safe and welcomed throughout my stay in Greece!]
