As someone who travels to Athens 3-4 times yearly I must say this was perfect. My wife has family in the neighborhood and the place was convinient for us. The city center is still very close and getting around is very easy (taxi 4-5 Euro to Plaka). Kipseli itself has a lot to offer and of course the area is more authentic and cheaper than the typical tourist areas.

For a good meal I highly recommend Pame Kafeneio and next door is Beer Tales if you want a choice of great beer. The owner, Danny is a nice guy! Late night Pizza? Call Pizza Fan.

We also had rented a car and parking was no problem during the day but at night you may have trouble finding a spot.

The place is also very quiet and we slept great.

We will be back, thanks!
