The road noise (which shouldn't surprise anyone that's been in an urban environment like this, but in case you're not) is REALLY loud. However, a good cup of coffee in the morning, or a lovely glass of wine in the evening, made it ok. The view of the Acropolis is inspiring. We were there when it was a bit chilly to really "hang out" on the terrace, but made the most of it when we could. It's really easy to walk to lots of great historical sites and restaurants, and there is a market and bakery just five minutes walking. It's really a nice neighborhood; much better than the Intercontinental (if you are considering a hotel) or other "major" chains on the big roadway. It's quaint, and feels very safe. We never felt worried being out after dark. If you need anything, seriously - the team was so quick to reply, either via the app or via SMS. We were grateful for their responsiveness. Fun note: the taxi that was arranged for our airport return was the same fellow featured in a Rick Steves guide (he showed us). So really, we were driven by a quasi-celebrity. How's that for service at 3am? ;)
