We used the metro from Athens airport (40 mins) to syntagma square and walked (10 mins) to the apartment. Excellent directions provided by host (better than google maps)
We received a warm welcome by the waiting host who provided all required details for use of the apartment (plus booklet). Following this a detailed map was provided that annotated all possible tourist requirements from best local supermarkets, bars, restaurants by type and tourist attraction details. The wifi was very good with no drop outs.
The apartment was very clean and furnished in a modern contemporary style with good wardrobe space and useful table.
The kitchenette was fully equipped for any self catering with electric rings and modern microwave cooker, all new and clean
A small but very usable balcony was available with the advantage of modern roller blinds for a peaceful sleep.
The bathroom and shower were tiled floor to ceiling again clean and modern.
The host booked our early morning taxi to Piraeus which was prompt, courteous and efficient. The host satisfied all our information requests quickly and expertly.
The location was excellent for Plaka and the Acropolis (15 mins) with a multitude of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. There is also but the benefit of a metro station within 5 minutes walk (Acropolis 10 mins and 2 stops on red line). A good tip that I failed to appreciate was the pricing and layout of the metro, the host offered this knowledge and it can relieve much duress from touristing in the heat of the day. I only wished was listening more attentively !
I cannot think of anything that could improve the hosts offering and having previously only used large internationally chained hotels the value for such a city centre offering is simply enormous by comparison. I would recommend this apartment without reservation.
