Nick was waiting for me at the metro station when I arrived. He walked me to his apartment so I wouldn’t have any trouble finding it. I arrived at night, so this, to me, was priceless! The room, and its private bathroom, were spotless and I felt comfortable right away. It had all the amenities, including air conditioning.
Nick’s apartment is centrally located, in a very nice neighborhood (Pankrati), a twenty minute walk (if you enjoy walking, which I do) from the Acropolis and Plaka; and a five minute walk from the metro. Around the corner, on Archelaou, are a wonderful bakery; one of the best pizza restaurants in Athens (quoting an Athenian friend of mine); an ice cream store; and several small restaurants.
I had a wonderful time at Nick’s, and I highly recommend his apartment as a great place to stay while in Athens!
