We really enjoyed our stay here. The apt is spacious and well-appointed with good beds, mostly modern furniture, and Lida's nice paintings. One exception: The kitchen is small and a bit spartan; for example, it has only a pair of hot plates and a toaster oven for cooking. (Then again, this is a artist's loft.) Also, the spoiled American in me was wishing for AC in the living room (and not just in the bedrooms). This is because the weather was extraordinarily hot (95 F or 35 C). With the windows open, it was too loud (busy nabe) and buggy (no screens). But we survived with the three fans. And I was able to clean my sweaty shirts in the washing machine.

The location in hip and graffiti-edgy Psyrri is great. Good restaurants just beyond the front door. Close to Monastiraki metro station. 15 minutes to both the Acropolis and Syntagma Square on foot.

Boutique Athens took good care of us. I especially enjoyed Lia, who offered great recommendations on places to eat.
