If you're looking for a place to lay your head that is dead-smack in the middle of everything, Dora's place is absolutely perfect for your type of travel -- which is why we give it 5 stars. It's clean, "compact" (more on this later), perfectly situated within a short walk to the Acropolis and right next to the Acropolis Station subway entrance. Better still, you only walk up a half-flight of stairs (maybe 10 steps total) and, best of all, the entrance is 10 feet away from the best ice cream and gelato store in Athens! There is also an ATM 5 feet from the entrance as well, so getting Euros to have some walking around money couldn't be easier! Dora's place is Ground Zero for all things Acropolis and Athens!
Now, onto what makes Dora's place less-than-perfect for certain types of travelers who like a place to kick-back and relax. Dora's place is *microscopic*! The photos make the place look downright huge, but it's a optical illusion. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and that's it! There is no living area. No kitchen. No comfortable chairs to relax and read in (and no place to put them), so this is really a place for two people (or 2 younger/mobile couples) who don't plan to spend any time "winding down" after some hectic travel. It's a place to come back to at bedtime to collapse and get up the next morning and head out. My wife and I travel "heavy", and we're older, so we like to be able to spread-out in our Airbnb and take things easy, and this is where Dora's place is not the ideal type of place for our kind of travel. It's a studio apartment with a dorm fridge, sink, and microwave in a bedroom closet (literally). Also, for Americans and some Europeans, the bathrooms are fully open -- meaning the shower is NOT enclosed and shares the floor with the toilet, sinks, and countertops, so everything gets wet (fairly common in many countries, so we are used to it, but some may not be).
We're not down on Dora's place -- at all. It's just that you need to know the details and calibrate expectations. That said, as far as location, immediate amenities, fantastic restaurants within spitting distance, PRICE (GREAT price!), cleanliness, and Dora's AWESOME communications there is nothing to complain about. Just know what type of traveler you are.
