It was a warm welcome, even though we had to change our arrival time several times. The apartment is all that it's promised, plus lots of hot water and abundant towels. and despite being on the main approach to the Acropolis, with the doors closed, it was peacefully quiet.

But that really doesn't matter because with all that Athens offers, we used Rovertou Galli 12 mainly to sleep and change clothes. Imagine being able to walk up the street to the ancient Acropolis of Athens -- no bus needed, no taxi, just walk up there and there's the Parthenon. That afternoon, walk to the brand-new Museum of the Acropolis and its excellent display of artifacts, clearly labelled, all explained.

Our only regret was the limited time we had for Athens. Our host made our departure easier by arranging for the taxi to the airport, which arrived on time.

P.S. There's a great family-run restaurant on the same street, opposite side, across from the back of the Museum.
