This place is perfect if you want to be in the center of the action and don't mind noise. It's next door to a Turkish bath, a gelato shop, and surrounded by charming restaurants and cafes. It's a block from pedestrian only shopping streets, and in the middle of Plaka. It's great for people who appreciate a night life, like to shop, or experience the thrill of Athens center. If you're in Athens on business, or like to settle in for quiet evenings after touring, this may not be the best choice. It stays loud until around midnight. The wifi was poor, so not great for people who need to stay connected. The host's father is absolutely charming and an artist. He handled check-in and showed some of his beautiful art work. The apartment is artsy, creative, eccentric. It's not modern; the furniture is comfy enough, except the beds which were not comfortable (too hard and lumpy in my view). The kitchen is basic with a hot plate, toaster oven and small refrigerator, but adequate if you plan to eat out most of the time. The bathrooms are basic. The shower has one of those snake-like nozzles that whips all over the bathroom if you don't hold it by the neck. The flat was clean. The only serious issue I had was the noise all day and night. But if you don't need to be inside the apartment, and if you stay up late, this would not be a problem. It quiets down around 11 pm or midnight and doesn't get noisy again until around 8 am. Fun place for tourists.
