Location and check in - Nikos had sent options to get from airport to his home and clear direction from nearest Metro station. He also planned to be there when I got there. While the map descriptions shows under 10 min walk from Sygrou Fix, it took me more on walks without luggage and definitely a lot more (nearly 20 mins) with a bag rolling on uneven pavement. I would strongly recommend taking Metro or X95 to Syntagma and a Beat (taxi/rideshare like Uber) from there for 3-5Euros. This avoid changing metro lines at Syntagma and in my case taking stairs as I have a small physical impediment. (This is what I did when I left).
For sightseeing though its a convenient location a stop away from Acropolis stop. Beat is cheap and efficient too.
Nikos walked me around the home showing me all the great amenities (even how to operate espresso machine). Gave me keys, alarm instructions and checkout info as well. Left me the form to fill out passport info etc at leisure which I was thankful for.
He had a jar of cookies and a ton of oranges which I did not imagine I would need but you’d surprise yourself on jetlagged 2 AMs when you have a dozen oranges and a juicer.
Nikos also helped get me a print out for a train ticket to Kalabaka, which I was grateful for.
Home and amenities - It is a lovely, lovely space. Earthy material (wicker baskets, wood, crochet) and art oozing bohemian chic meeting modern rustic of poured concrete, greys and whites.
I was home only 9ish pm to 5:30 am everyday but for those on more relaxed holiday there is everything here that you’ll need (incl dongles for iPhones!!).
Noise - Since its on almost ground level you may hear street/neighbor noises.
Stairs - There are very few steps between building entrance and the home for those who care about stairs. None you need to use within the house.
Checkout - Since I left super early Nikos messaged me checkout reminder 12 hours ahead apologizing for not coming to say bye. It was pretty straight forward.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this home and host for anyone wanting to stay in this hip and less touristy area.
