A nice place at a good location. The host is very responsive, helpful and the apartment is well-kept. Unlike Psirri and Plaka which are full of tourists and can get quite noisy, Thomas' apartment was quiet. The magazines in the apartment that introduce Athens might be a few years old, but they offer great suggestions for places to visit and we found all of them were still open. The surrounding area might be a bit scary for some because of the graffiti, but it's full of young people, great and affordable cafes and restaurants. We always felt safe, even at night. It's well connected to the rest of the city by public transport - you can even take the subway to the beach and the port. You will find a few shops nearby to resupply essentials such as sunscreen, ramen, batteries and coffee.
