the view is as described
except better, at night
what were not mentioned in other reviews are the convenience stores just downstairs of the apartment block and a wide range of food establishments: greek, chinese, japanese, western food all a stone’s throw away. you can basically grab some food and drinks (wine/beer) from downstairs and chill out at the terrace: far from the madding crowd at Monastiraki, although that is within walking distance too.
the flat has great wifi and even a tv with cable channels. Elina also throws in other stuff like wine glasses, usb adaptors, torch (flash lights), scissors, nail clippers, etc.
and yes, the place is clean. the water pressure in the shower is great with heated water and air-conditioning that works.
best of all Elina is within shouting distance but you have the whole place to yourselves
