Lydia is a very special host, kind, helpful, and generous with her time, answering messages at seemingly all times of day and night. Sitting on the large patio in the evening was a real delight. The apartment is centrally located, a 10 minute walk from the Kerameikos stop on M3 Metro line which runs frequently and takes roughly an hour to reach from the airport. For someone who likes to walk, most of Athens' historical sights and museums can be reached in 20-40 minutes by foot from the apartment, including the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, Syntagma Square, Plaka, the National Garden, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, both Agoras, and the National Archaeological Museum. There are several grocery stores and a dozen restaurants within a 15 minute radius. The six landmark/museum ticket for 30 Euros/five days is convenient and a bargain, as is all public transportation in Athens. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit.
