Spacious flat on the second floor of the building, served by an elevator. Its a loft where the kitchen, dining room and living room are one large open space, with bedroom and bathroom separate. The bedroom has a double bed, with the couch in the living room turning into a comfortable single bed. .
The flat itself is spacious, with basic furnishing enough for 3 or 4 people to be comfortable. Its a good pied-a-terre to come back and rest after walking that wonderful city but not a place where you would want to lounge for a whole day. We did not eat there so did not use the stove or fridge.
The street noises reported in other reviews I consider part and parcel with a downtown flat in a large city, so normal downtown noises, yet relatively quiet after 11 PM. It did not interfere one iota with my sleep.
In teh flat, internet connection was almost non-existent during the day, but ok in the evening. Every cafe, taverna, restaurant and museum have wifi and you just need to ask the password, which is usually how we managed to do research or stay in touch while in Athens.
The main attraction for this flat is the area. Very interesting and happening area, full of life after 7 PM. There are workshops manufacturing leather handbags and sandals, vintage record shop, cool cafes with hipster waiters, etc. You can't help but feel like a local when you mingle with shoppers and shop owners in a cafe. Loved that feeling in a foreign city.
Panagiotis was a an outstanding host. He spoke to the taxi driver to direct him to the right house, waited for us and helped us settle in. He oriented us in the city and provided recommendations on museums, restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. Very kind, patient and knowledgeable of his city.
Loved Athens. Loved the neighbourhood. Loved the host and grateful for the flat.
