Although I didn't see Phaidon himself (his mother met me in and showed the apartment), he was always available by phone and ready to help. The apartment is exactly what you see on the photos. When I arrived, it was clean and equipped with everything needed. The apartment is very comfortable and superbly located (2 min walk from the New Acropolis Museum, 5 min from Plaka, 15 min from Syntagma). A supermarket and a pharmacy are around the corner to the left from the house. The street is very quiet, but you can here some outside noises (including neighbour's radio in the morning), which might be a drawback for someone. Overall, Phaidon's appartment proved to be a good choice for someone taking part in Athen's Authentic Marathon 10K race. Will certainly stay again.
