Excellent location, close to Monastiraki Square and metro station, so a perfect base to explore Athens. The host is an architect, and it clearly shows in the original charme with which the place is furnished. Large bedroom with sufficient space to stow your stuff, big living/dining area (we were tempted to invite friends ;-). Clean, well kept. It really doesn't matter that there is no balcony, you just pop down to the bars below to hang. We'll be back.
