I had a great stay in this clean bright and comfortable apartment. It is practically across the street from the Monastiraki metro entrance but it is at the rear of the building so it quiet for sleeping. It is only a minute or two walk to the Monastiraki square and 10 minutes to the Acropolis . I found the area safe and friendly . I was a little nervous at first due to the graffiti painted on everything that didn't move and the entrance to the building was ill kept and dark but once I got into the apartment I was pleasantly surprised . There are 6 individual locked suites off the common area . The common area has a small kitchen in case you decide to eat in, as well as a table and chairs. All the floors are ceramic so you know they are clean. the room has huge windows, 2 of which open. The view is of the building across the narrow street but the light for the window brightened the room nicely. I was there in October so I only needed the air conditioner for an hour to cool the room off since it had been closed. There is a comfortable bed for two , a closet, a small chair, bedside table and a en-suite washroom with a glass shower and with plenty of hot water plus a heated towel rack that was a nice touch. I recommend this apartment. Don't worry about the Graffiti because as I discovered it unfortunately is everywhere in Athens. I was there for a couple of while waiting for a flight home (metro train to airport every 1/2 hour) . It was the weekend and there were so many teens and twenty somethings that you would think it was Spring Break. Monastiaki is a very lively place ,lots of restaurants, stores , flea market and of course the Acropolis.
