If you want to be in the heart of Athens with MANY restaurants, local attractions, and a touristy environment I would highly recommend this place. It is down the street from the Acropolis and the beach is about a €10-15 taxi ride away. There are also metro/train stations about a 10 minute walk away. Jane the host is also very accommodating and she sent us her top restaurant/café/bar choices and also answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Although the apartment is in a busy area, it is quiet and we were not disturbed at all. We loved our stay here!!
