I had a wonderful experience in Athens and at a very short notice Sofia offered me to stay which I'm very grateful for as she was away! Flatmates were warm, kind and helpful. George who didn't speak English was hospitable and we had hours of conversation using Google Translate which was absolutely delightful! Thank for being so patient with me and glad we have become friends. The apartment was as it is in the photos and on a hill. I was relieved I bought suitable footwear with me! Everything including the Acropolis and other ancients ruins was a short walking distance (10-15 minutes). Public transport was easy to get to, €1.20 one way and €4 for a day ticket used on the bus, tram or metro.
