The location is very convenient and comfortable We can walk to to most sight seeing places. It is only 10 minutes walk to the Syntagma Square (where you can take the subway or buses) which is in front of Parliament House. Don't forget to watch the Evzones (changing on guards) on Sunday 11 am. It is much better than the hourly ones. There are high end shopping and cheap stores. We are walking distance to the National Park, Acropolis, Agora ruins, temples of hephaestus, Monastiraki, Panatheai stadium, Temple o Zeus, Arch of Hadrian, Zappeion, Theater of Dionysus, Philoppos Hill, Stoa of Attalos. Eleni also let us check out late since the apartment was not booked on the day we left. Don't forget to check out the surroundings around the Acropolis subway. There is the new Acropolis museum and nice restaurants and stores. Don't worry about the slow shower drain. Just need to remove all the hair under the cover. From Monastiraki, we walk on the Athinas street to the Central Market where you find fresh vegetable, meat and seafood.
