Mag's apartment has been very nicely remodeled and is well maintained. The mattress is thin (about 5 inches thick) and so the bed is only moderately comfortable, unless he changes to a thicker mattress. It faces the courtyard, and is exceptionally quiet - a big plus for me. It is a great value, because it is not in the fancy tourist area - it is 2 to 3 blocks from that. It is a reasonable walk to the Acropolis, metro station, etc. From the apartment, go south on Pl. Eleftherias street and then Sachtouri street. Once you cross Sarri street, you cross the boundary into the touristy area and the restaurants. There is a police guard station across the street from Mag's apartment and the police sometimes guard that area on foot also. It is reasonably safe using good common sense. In summary, you will be living like a local traveler for a great value, but it is not a fancy hotel and in a fancy area. If your expectations are set correctly, you will feel that you got what you needed for a good value.
