We decided to pay a little extra for the balcony and view… it was well worth it! The place was nicer than the photos. Very comfortable bed and fold down couch. Vassilios was very generous with his time to accommodate our early arrival, meet us at Syntagma bus drop, walk us to apartment while orienting us to streets and surroundings (so easy to navigate after that!) and showing us the apartment and answering any questions. Take his recommendations for restaurants and cafes! They were the best!!
