Nadia was quickly in touch after my booking with clear, specific, and very helpful information about both the apartment and the neighborhood. I had no issues while staying there and it was very easy to feel like a local.

The apartment is spacious, very clean, and well stocked with items to cook meals at home and do laundry (there's a washing machine, iron and ironing board). For anything that might be tricky, like switching the water heater from solar to electric, there are notes left in the house to make them clear. Although close to the metro, the apartment is very quiet as it has double paned windows. The bed is comfortable (I think the couch might also pull out to a bed but didn't check) and there are extra pillows and a comforter in the closet, which also has space to hang your own clothes. There's no elevator, which wasn't a problem, but good to keep in mind just in case.

The neighborhood is a truly middle class Greek neighborhood even though you're only a stop or two from the main tourist section of Athens. There's several local coffee shops, a grocery store, pharmacy, and souvlakia place all within two blocks of the apartment, plus more on the other side of the metro. There are also several parks within walking distance and the neighbors are very helpful and kind when asking for directions.

The neighborhood has several new restaurants and bars up the hill, or you can easily walk (10-15 minutes) to Gazi which is a hot spot for Greek nightlife. I also took a day and walked from the apartment to the Acropolis through Philopappou Hill, which at a very easy pace took under an hour. It's also a short trip to Pireaus if you're planning to take a ferry anywhere.

This was the perfect spot for my stay in Athens as I was away from the overcrowded tourist areas, close to the center and offices where I had business, but could also easily zip out to the suburbs to visit friends and relatives. Highly recommend Nadia's place.
