Don''t be put off by the look of the neighbourhood as this turns out to be a fab area to stay. Locals eat here at cafes/restaurants which very affordable and such a close walk to all the Acropolis highlights. Don't miss Benaki Musem, Archeological Museum and a cute area of old houses called Anafiotika near the Acropolis Museum.
Athina and Kiki are great hosts, quick to reply and helpful with local info'. No microwave but a great kitchen, various methods to make coffee. Lovely decor, spacious, lift to 3rd floor. Important: there is a lift at the metro station so if you have suitcases find it, MUCH easier and closer to apt which is only 200yds anyway. 4 floor supermarket nearby. We had a wonderful stay here and can't wait to come again.
