Check in was good, the owner was friendly. Gave instruction not to use dishwasher, oven, laundry machine and hot water at the same time to avoid outage. He said he doesnt know how laundry machine works but it should explain itself. The laundry machine is very tiny and a different size then you would be used to in your home or at a regular place. The machine would not open after we started the load. Initially the owner replied he would not blame us for it - but after he called someone to help with it - he made my husband pay 80$ for it saying it was due to us over loading it. (I had barely filled 70% of it). So if you are staying here - dont risk using the machine as the owner himself does not know how to use it but will charge you if you get trouble with it. The place is in a location that is close to a subway station, supermarkt, pharmacy.
The apartment itself is nice but old - you hear every door opening and closing- and the neighboorhood is not quiet during nightime. May be normal for a place in Central athens - but you hear dogs barking, sirens, ppl fighting during night. Nothing that the owner himself can improve. Good if you want to have a place for a budget- but not a place i feel i would want to visit again.
