Our hosts were not at the apartment to welcome us but the cleaner was - not a problem for us as long as we were properly handed the keys and briefed on house rules and instructions to operate wifi etc, whih we were. We took the airport shuttle bus to Syntagma square and then cab to the apartment - this was the best option for us as the alternative of taking the metro may mean you have to haul your baggages up and down the stairs or wrestle with everyday commuters for the escalators. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We like this option to staying in hotels since we spent 5 days in Athens as we read from hotel reviews that rooms tend to be on the small side for the same amount of money spent. Kitchen was well equipped. There's a washing machine in the apartment too. Daniella, wife of Illias, was responsive to our sos when we awoke one morning to find out there was no water from the taps. The water cut off lasted around 2 hours. The apartment is on the second floor but you will have a view of the street as the first floor is partially below street level. No view of the Acropolis from this apartment. As you exit the apartment building, suggest to turn left and head straight to Sigrou-fix for the nearest metro station (approx. 7-min walk). Turn right and head straight to Acropolis (approx. 15-min walk). There were small groceries stores nearby for us to get fruits, mineral water, boxed cereals and fresh milk. We wouldn't mind staying here again should we return to Athens and would recommend this place to friends whose budget is around the same as ours.
