Phaidon is a great host who goes above and beyond to help you. The house has lots of space, the shower is old but typically of places in Athens. The apartment is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood and central if you want to spend most of your time at the Acropolis, Plaka and Syntagma which are all an easy walk or one station away on the Metro. We loved the local bookshop/cafe, a local hangout and not many tourists.
