Stayed at Eric and Helen's for two week's in November. Pre-arrival - Eric was great with any questions we had and helped us navigate the trains upon our arrival. Arrival - Helen was there waiting for us and gave us a quick tour of the apartment along with any instructions we might need. She was super helpful and always available with questions or concerns. The space - It was exactly as advertised and all of the pictures were accurate. Things to consider are the hot water heater requires pushing a button and waiting 45 minutes for the hot water, but this is not uncommon around Europe and easily manageable. We found the water stayed hot long enough to allow 3 people to get 5 min showers in with no issue. The walls are very thin. We spent many a night falling asleep to our neighbors talking loudly, a child who always seemed to be throwing a tantrum and screaming, and literally anybody walking down the street outside. You can and will hear everything around you. The same goes in reverse and we always assumed that if we were talking above a hushed tone, our neighbors could hear us too. The street itself is actually small and quiet, but every scooter that zipped down the adjacent streets echoed off the walls and became annoying quick. Location - The flip side to the noise is the location. We were able to walk over to the Acropolis easily within 10 minutes as well as most other local attractions. Plaka, the Acropolis Museum, Syntagma Square and the surrounding areas can all be walked to and are mostly downhill on the return to the apartment. However, the train station is also close and can easily cut out over half of the walking. We were also delighted to find a Friday farmers market right around the corner from the apartment where you can get any fresh fruit or vegetables you desire. They were out there both Fridays we were there and even set up with huge umbrellas when it rained. There are also several great small bakeries within 2-3 minutes walk as well as a small Shop & Go that had the essentials. However, there is a Bazaar and a 4 story grocery store within 5 minutes walk as well. We were even able to walk to the Lidl for bigger food purchases with the entire round trip taking less than an hour. Check-out - Super simple and again the communication with Eric and Helen was great. Eric even helped us out with a taxi driver on the morning we left because the the train line we needed to the airport was on a 24 strike. The taxi was 40 EUR and took us 1 hour door to door and the train was 9 EUR each and took probably a bit longer, but not much. One final note about the trains - Despite many many reviews saying you will get robbed as soon as you step...
