We had great communication with Aris. His English was very good. He was kind and helpful. He met us at the apartment and carried all our luggage up to the 2nd floor where his apartment was. He had maps available for us with the metro stops Monastiraki and Thisseio pointed out. We asked about supermarkets, where to eat etc and he explained everything. It was so close (5-10 min walk) to the Monastiraki area which is where all the tourist markets, antiques and tavernas (restaurants) were. We used the Monastiraki Metro stop because it stopped where all the people were. There were 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen on the lower floor, and a bedroom with a toilet on the 2nd floor leading out to the rooftop garden. Oh My God...the views from up there are amazing of the Akropolis! The stairs are steep and there is no elevator. The kitchen was functional but we didn't use it. The fridge was full of food and drink which was complimentary. There was a drip coffee machine. There was no microwave. There was an airconditioner in every room. there was a washing machine in the bathroom with the washing line outside on the balcony of one of the bedrooms. The area looked a bit rundown but we felt completely safe.
