Nicholas' place was great and conveniently located. It is very spacious, clean, well-maintained and has all the necessary amenities including a washer and a dryer. There are coffee shops, restaurants, convenience stores and pharmacies nearby and it is only around 15-20 minutes walk to Syntagma square, Plaka and the Acropolis. It is also very safe to walk around the area at night. Nicholas' colleague, Athina, was very helpful and hospitable and she provided us with local information and assistance in booking for our airport taxi. I've stayed in hotels when I visited Athens before, but I will not hesitate to stay in Nicholas' place again or recommend it to friends.
