If you want to avoid the touristy areas of Athens, yet still be within walking distance, this is a great option. It's only a 15 walk to the Acropolis over the hill the apartment overlooks. The apartment is in a very laid back area of Athens, with many excellent restaurants near by. Nikos arranged taxi transfer for us, and provided many daily necessities (bread, milk, butter, jam etc.) and restocked them when they ran out.
