Aris gave us a warm welcome to the apartment after his sister provided excellent directions to get there from the airport by various modes of transportation. The place is very clean and spacious and we enjoyed the two balconies and the feeling of neighborhood life going on around us. The apartment is about 5 minutes from a bus stop that takes about 20 minutes to reach central Athens and about 15 minutes from the nearest Metro stop. I recommend a taxi from the airport. We also took taxis back from downtown at night (8-10 euros) which was quicker and avoided uphill walking.
