Dimitris was a really nice host, was very knowledgeable about the area and about general travel in Greece, and gave us some helpful information. He was even very reassuring and helpful when the debt crisis hit and we weren't sure whether we could access our money! And the apartment is beautiful...comfortable bed, sofa, shower, kitchen, and a great value. In terms of location, you're outside the city center, the immediate area around the apartment is very quiet, and the main attractions are a quick metro ride away. My wife and I also enjoyed exploring the area around the flat. I'd recommend wandering around the Panormou station area. There are a cluster of cool bars and tavernas up there. I'd also recommend trying the ice cream and/or baklava at the pastry shop right nearby.

We are actually already scheduled to stay at Ateneo again and I'm looking forward to it!
