Theodore's comfortable little apartment is located a convenient few minutes from the metro, only 3 stops from central Syntagma square (2 stops from Acropolis), in a quiet residential neighborhood. Having been to Greece numerous times before, we felt right at home just stepping off the subway, with little bakeries and take-out coffee shops lining the street. This residential area is considerably quiet a night, and yes, if that's an issue you're concerned with, it's totally safe. If the party life is more your thing you would have to look somewhere else, but then the place is as I said centrally located with easy access to the busier nightlife by metro. For us it was perfect and being able to get away from it all definitely was an asset. The place itself is a bright and charming comfortable little studio, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more (like an iron, hair dryer, extra towels, just to name a few things) and the sunny kitchenette even features a full size oven, should you ever want to cook at home. While certainly not being a large place everything in the apartment is well thought of and arranged, so it never feels crammed or anything. Needless to say, the big terrace makes it even more special (you can even see the Acropolis from a corner of the balcony). We felt very much at home and liked coming back to the place every night - while waking up with a view in the morning really was quite spectacular. I should also mention that there is a huge farmers' market around the corner on Saturdays which makes for a special treat off the tourist track not to be missed. Theodore is a great host, a pleasure to communicate with and always there when you need to reach him. He is also supplying you with a wealth of information, so you can't possibly get lost. His mother who welcomed us warmly upon arrival made us feel like we were visiting friends or family...the proverbial Greek hospitality that goes beyond just being polite and formally friendly. All in all, Theodore's apartment is a great place to start exploring Athens from and I would be really surprised if you would not feel as comfortable and well taken care of as we did staying there.
