I stayed more than three weeks at Gabriel's place and my experience was absolutely positive! The host has been very welcoming and helpful from the beginning untill the end; he picked me up at my arrival at the bus station and explained me everything about the house an the area, giving me useful advice (about cheapest laundries, supermarkets, things to see in town and so on) and providing me with maps of the area. The apartment is like in the picture, small and essential but very very cosy and clean, with all the necessary. The balcony is spacious and has a wonderful view! The neighborhood is lively, but the street where the apartment is located is really tranquil. I loved the fact to have everything I needed at a short walk distance. In ten minutes walk you can arrive in the main road of the area, Fokionos Negri, and find nice places to eat, drink and enjoy the neighborhood. The station of the metro is not very close (the nearest is Aghios Nikolaos, 20mins walk), but there are several buses that from Kipseli square or Patission that take you in few minutes to Viktoria bus station or to the centre, so the area is definetely well connected and in little time you can reach the heart of the Athens. Kipseli has any kind of service and a nice open air market on Tuesday morning, just close to the apartment. I absolutely recommend Gabriel's place.
