I loved staying in Marilias place. It has loads of character and space, it is the opposite from a characterless modern cube! The flat is in a very safe area, close to plenty of food and drink options. Only a 15 min walk to loads of Athens' attractions. There's an amazing bakery just down the hill, a great fruit and veg market on a fri and the strains of classical music drifting into the flat in the early eve(really). Don't expect 5* blandness, do expect plenty of character and everything you need. It's a great place.
