We were two couples who spent one night at Vassilis' place on our way back from Santorini, flying out of the country the next day. During our previous time in Athens we had stayed in the historic center and the amazing view from Vassilis' balcony gave us a different perspective about how big and vibrant modern Athens really is. We took the metro from the port (which is on the same metro line as his apartment) and the apartment was very easy to find (the hardest part is starting out...when you get out of the metro there is an intersection of two major streets--take the one that goes under the metro overpass and you are on the right track). There is a huge grocery store nearby, as well as bars and coffee shops, and if you walk back to the metro there are a lot of casual take-away restaurants. Vassilis was also very responsive to my emails (and I sent many because our travel plans kept changing) and he was very flexible to wait for us at the apartment when our ferry got in much later than expected.

A couple things to note--first, the pull out sofa bed is not actually a traditional sofa bed with a matress/bedframe inside, it just has cushions that pull out onto the floor to make a small double bed. That being said, the cushions were firm, and more comfortable than some other AirBnB beds I have slept on! Second, the apartment was a little small for the 4 of us. With 2 people it would be just fine, but I would not recommend 4 people staying there.
