George and Panagiota’s apartment in Metaxourghio (Athens) is a perfect little place to base yourself for exploring Athens. It’s literally opposite the metro station (fast and efficient) and you can reach many of the major sites easily (as well as a relatively easy change for the airport line.)
The central market is an easy walk via the main roads (but maybe avoid the back streets... not that it’s particularly dangerous in the daytime, just “gritty city” stuff.)
The apartment itself is well equipped and clean, and looks exactly as it does in the photos. We didn’t fret too much about the traffic noise (kind of expected in a city), and it was good to sit out on the balcony in the evening and watch the world go by while sipping an ouzo.
Complete bonus for us: George and Panagiota organised a cot, a high chair, and some plastic plates, cups and cutlery for our toddler (*really* helpful). There’s even some toys!
If you have any questions, George and Panagiota are very quick to answer and they provide clear, useful information in the apartment’s manual.
In short, stay here. It’s good.
