If you are looking for luxury and peace then this is not the place for you. If you want a basic place to stay in the heart of all that old Athens has to offer, restaurants, shopping (high end and bargain), and all the ancient sites then this is perfect. It certainly was for us as we were able to visit all the ancient sites within a 10 minute walk: Acropolis, Areopagus, Pnyx, Agoras, Hephaestus, Temple of Zeus, Panathenaic stadium, Lyceum! Couple all that with magnificent food at a different restaurant every meal and we had a wonderful time. This flat made the perfect base for all that.
