Dimitris's place is the perfect spot to visit Athens from, I can't recommend it enough. Whether it's your first time in Athens or you've been there multiple times, this is the perfect place to get a feel for the city and be by all the best places.
The apartment has a lot of natural light and a great balcony to sit and enjoy the sounds of the city and the sunset. The bed is large and very comfy, with lots of extra pillows & blankets. The small kitchen works well if you're staying there longer and want to save on money & cook more meals there. It's also super easy to stock up on any food as there are lots of grocery store options right by the apartment.
Overall it feels like you're really living in the city, not just visiting.
The neighborhood is a great area, right outside the apartment are cafes, bars, and shops. There's a lot of options price wise also, some really cheap options as well as very nice ones so you've got a lot to choose from.
It's super close to Plaka and the streets that look more like greek islands which is great so you can walk around and enjoy them often.
Occasionally you can hear live music late at night, mostly on the weekends, but it's not obtrusive at all, and more fun & enjoyable to hear the nightlife.
