The apartment is a wonderfully large loft-style home in a really trendy bit of Athens. There are loads of bars and cafes scattered around and there are loads of people taking advantage of the sunny weather by socialising in the streets. The bars are open really late but you can't really hear this in the apartment. It's an arty area and there are lots of jewelry, clothing and trendy shops in the area. Plus it's a short walk to the metro station.

Eleni was really friendly and helpful - and went out of her way to help us (to the extent of finding me a printer to print my boarding pass). She is an artist and seems really plugged in to the art scene.

I'd happily stay there again. The only thing I'd say could be a downside is the fact that the rooms share a door and the wall to the main bedroom is wooden slats - this means that there is very limited privacy. It's fine if you are friends as we were and not body shy - but not really suitable if you were a couple that was sharing the apartment with others and hoping for intimacy.
