The apartment is good and I'd stay again, if George (the host) could assure me that neighbouring apartments in the same building were not going to have heavy (noisy) building works going on during my stay - which they did during this visit.
From 7:35 am to 9pm, approximately, hammering, electric drilling, electric circular saws and general banging across the course of the day from start to finish was intrusive and extremely unpleasant.
This occurred for one full day and a half day during my 4 day stay in Athens - not conducive with a relaxing break.
I appreciate that this isn't George's fault but it does devalue the stay in his apartment, as it was not part of the advertised experience.
The apartment is great, notwithstanding the grubby cups and noise pollution. It's clean and tidy with large spacious rooms, full working kitchen and a fabulous balcony with an amazing view (particularly at night)
It was a pity a few unfortunate details marred what was otherwise a lovely experience.
