+ The apartment is very well-located, right next to Monastiriki metro station.
+ There was a really nice balcony to enjoy your meal.
- The apartment is in a high attic that is only reachable by climbing several narrow, steep and winding staircases. I believe this is because the apartment is very old but that makes it very inconvenient and inaccessible. The walls around the stairwell are adorned with paintings which I kept hitting on the way up with luggage. I was worried I might damage one accidentally.
- The ceiling in certain places is extremely low. I am 5' 8'' and I almost always had to crouch while walking in the apartment. I hit my head several times. The "living room" and "sink/refrigerator" area is practically unusable due the low ceiling. We had to be on our knees to use this area.
- The bathroom was very basic. No curtains or any kind of barrier around the shower area. The toilet seat is poorly designed -- the cover does not go up fully so it keeps hitting your back as you sit down on it. The shampoo and wash gel provided were basically the same solution heavily diluted with water.
- The latch on the bedroom door was non-functional. I suspect it was the original one used in the building. This meant that we could never fully shut the door. A lot of energy was wasted due to the AC. We tried our best by pushing a chair up against the door to keep it shut but it did not work well.
- The entrance to the building is through a cafe which is now closed. I wish they'd mentioned this in the listing. We had to jump over chains with our luggage to enter the building. Also, there were signs put up in the apartment about guests being able to order breakfast from the cafe downstairs. So, we had planned our morning around this. We were very disappointed to learn later that this was not true anymore as the cafe was closed.
