Me and one friend stayed at this spacious and centrally-located apartment to work away from home for 9 days. The host (acting in behalf of the owner) was very friendly and gave plenty of recommendations for food and visit.
Pros:
Very spacious with fairly simple furnishings and decently solid WiFi (though netflix had to pause a few times)
Only a 10 minute (€5) taxi ride away from anywhere in the centre of Athens and with plenty of supermarket and food options around (including direct across the road)
Everything as described with a great balcony and distant view of the Acropolis
Cons:
The building itself is in need of some minor fixes, most notably the front door which on occasion takes a significant amount of fiddling to open. This can be a problem at night in particular (see below)
The area itself has plenty of amenities during the daytime but is not in a touristic location, so there is not loads of nightlife in the immediate vicinity. For this reason some travellers may not feel comfortable by themselves after dark. As mentioned above, this is made into more of a problem by the front door issue. Therefore I recommend those that are concerned to check first with the host whether the front door has been fixed prior to booking.
There are some standard kitchen items missing, such as a chopping board.
Overall:
With the above items in mind, I would recommend this accommodation for couples, groups, and work travellers as a good base for a stay in Athens. The host will also take care that any issues can be resolved.
4/5 stars
