The flat and the owner were fantastic. The flat is modern and tasetfully decorated (especially the artistic tiles and mosaics) and it is comfortable and air conditioned throughought. And importantly it is nice and quiet. It's a short 5 minute walk to Syngrou Fix metro or the tram (Fix) which is one stop to Syntagma. Make sure you buy a 3 day travel pass (20 euro) for ease of use on everything. No machines take credit card. Along the way to the station (at the bottom of the hill) is a wonderful and friendly bakery and a corner store. To get to the flat from the airport take the M3 then switch at Syntagma Square for the M2 (to Syngrou Fix). It takes an hour.

There are one or two good restaurants (not too touristy) near the metro station (go to the second block up the 'mall').

The terrace at the apartment is very special. Be careful on the tiles if it is wet though as it's very slippery.

Overall I highly recommend the lovely apartment. And the fresh olives and fruit provied on arrival was lovely.
