Mano's place is the perfect place to stay to see the historic sites. It is within easy walking distance to all 7 (and we visited them all) of the city ticket sites. The view of the Akropolis is unbelievable- we were lucky to have a full moon while staying here so the night time sky above the Parthenon was stunning. The weather was quite hot while we were in Athens so we were able to do an early morning excursion, come back to the room for a siesta during the heat of the day, then out in the evening for more site seeing. Communication was great and the room is very comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
