The location of this apartment really is amazing. We didn't get to spend much time in Athens, but staying here ensured that we were easy walking distance from everything we could possibly want to do. The apartment and furnishings are lovely. It's small but spacious for a couple. "Vintage" in the title applies to the building, the appliances, and the bathroom. It was a fun/new experience for us to use such old stuff!

We had an overall great stay, but do have to mention a few things that we think are worth noting if you are considering this spot.
-The neighbor one flight up in the building that faces the same back airshaft as the bedroom window has four birdcages on her balcony. The birds start making a LOT of noise at 6 or 7AM, and go till it's dark. It's really hard to sleep through it if the window is open, and hard to sleep with the window closed since there is no air conditioning. For some people this wouldn't matter, but we did want to sleep in a bit and struggled.
-There isn't air conditioning, which didn't bother me (I'm always cold), but warmer blooded folks like my boyfriend may struggle. There's a fan though, and you can get a good cross breeze going with the all the windows open (see above).
-The kitchen has very little space, and it's difficult to plug in more than one or two appliances at the same time. If you want to cook full meals, you may have some challenges. It worked for us to use just for making coffee and toast, but if you're trying to move quickly in the mornings, or make more complicated things, this may not be right for you.
-Lastly, we talked to Anna about this and do think it was an anomaly, but we had an unfortunate experience with a strong sewage smell seeping into the apartment from the back airshaft for one full day we were there. Seemed to have something to do with drainage in the basement, or cleaning of the building next door. Certainly wasn't Anna's fault, or even necessarily something happening in this building, but the smell was so overwhelming for a while that we were worried we wouldn't be able to sleep. It died down a lot overnight, and she said it hadn't happened before, but just wanted to let others know it's a possible issue.

Overall, we enjoyed our time in Athens and our stay at this apartment. For the location alone and for Anna's wonderful hospitality, we might stay here again, but we would have some hesitations about the morning noise issue.
