Firstly, thanks Adironike for arranging our lift from the airport and a massive thank you to Dimitris for not only fetching us, but returning immediately thereafter to wait for my daughters then delayed flight (and lost luggage)!
Adironikes friend was there to welcome us and show us around. Glad to have coffee and tea immediately available! Needed milk though, and small supermarket conveniently situated just around the corner. Would highly recommend the bakery just next door to the supermarket too - excellent breads and pastries!
The apartment is in a perfect locality within easy strolls of Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Plaka etc.
The double-glazed lounge window/door made it easy to shut out traffic noise, and the bedroom side was quiet.
The kitchen was adequately fitted out and there was ample hot water for the 4 of us.
The "main" bedroom (queen size bed) is a lot smaller than the bedroom with 2 single beds (beds were pushed together, but not made into one bed), which also has a dressing table, cupboard and more surrounding space, (although this wasnt an issue for us). There is also a tiny balcony off the bedrooms with seating, looking onto a rather plain "garden". Nice to be able to leave doors open while sleeping.
The open plan lounge/dining area has a TV (dont know about channels as never used it) and is a comfortable place to relax, which we did, after walking Athens flat!
My suggestions for Athens if you have time is to visit the Acropolis Museum before the "real thing" which helps put everything into perspective; visit the Cycladic Museum, walk (easy) to the top of the Fillopolos (?oops spelling) Hill for a beautiful sunrise or setting view over the city and surrounds, and the open air cinema, (not too far from the main Acropolis entrance) which was a novelty for us - if you sit near the back rows, you get an amazing view of the lit-up Acropolis in the distance, while watching Mad Max on screen. Bizarre! Take a bite to eat or drink (snacks can also be bought there) and settle down for the movie. Blankets provided if it gets chilly, which it did!
Altogether, we loved our stay in Athens and would definitely recommend this apartment.
