If you're coming to Athens to step outside your door and gaze at the Parthenon and stumble into the Plaka district, then Theodore's place is not for you. However, if you're coming to Athens and hoping to know what it feels like to live in a community, to put your finger on the pulse of Athens - including its people, parts of its past, and perhaps even its future - then you're coming to the right place. The studio is situated in the north of the city and is perfect for someone who needs a reliable, affordable, cozy, and quiet place to lay their head when exploring the city. I was staying for a month and working remotely - the internet was fast enough for my video calls/video streaming, and Theo has a small work desk on wheels that can move as needed.
Theo gave me a warm welcome and lots of tips on what to see around the area/what to explore during my stay, and I'm happy to report that I did most of them. One of my favorites was the quaint little museum at Plato's Academy, very close to the apartment and not on any tourist itineraries.
Despite what I said at the start, if you are looking to just be a tourist and go to the Acropolis and walk the streets of Plaka, you're still close enough to the metro to do that and/or walk yourself (which is what I did most often).
Happy travels.
