Gala's place was fantastic. A really lovely home, tastefully decorated, conveniently located (near food, metro, and major sights), and very comfortable. The apartment is a cool old deco design with lovely high ceilings and it stayed very cool in the heat of Athens summer. The rooftop garden is a real highlight too.
The neighbourhood feels really safe, directions on how to get there worked, lot of a good eating within walking distance. The Metro is two minute walk which is really convenient. All in all a great stay.
Tips for other travellers: we were a party of four so with one bathroom we had to manage our time in the mornings. Also the third bed is a sofa bed that is on the short side.
