Manolis was a great host - even though we were an hour late coming in from the airport he waited for us patiently, answered all our questions, gave us a tour of the apartment and some tips on where to eat in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is nice, safe, taxi to the Syntagma/Plaka is about 3.5 eur/day or around 5 eur/night, the bus to the city centre is very near and the metro stop is a 10 min walk. The apartment is even better than on the pictures. The sleeping area with two big bedrooms is separate from the living area which is great and the place is very quiet. It is equipped with everything you might need - if you know Greek there are a lot of Greek books to read as well and good music to listen :)
