We loved staying at Mary's place. The area is nice and a particularly interesting part of Athens. It was nice walking from there to the main sightseeing spots. Just around the cornor from the apartment you find the Exarchia Square which is perfect for having a drink. Mary's flat offers everything you need and has a lot of details that make you feel completely comfortable (e.g. the balcony). Mary was a very helpful host, too, for instance, she prepared small maps to indicate the closest supermarket, the easiest way to walk to the center, etc.
