Perhaps the best word to describe this apartment is "homey." We were quite satisfied with our accommodations (4 adults requiring 3 separate sleeping quarters), with the help we received from the owner in promptly answering all of our questions before arrival, and especially with the location of the apartment, which is easily reached from the Athens airport via public transportation and is only a block or so from the direct metro line to Piraeus from where we booked ferry passage to the islands. We were welcomed at the apartment by the owner's parents, who not only oriented us to the apartment and neighborhood, but greeted us with cold, juicy watermelon, which was much appreciated after a long and hot journey! The apartment is in a neighborhood filled with open air cafes and restaurants, a bakery, a supermarket, and various other shops. The National Archeological Museum is within an easy walk, and the Plaka area and Acropolis are an easy metro ride away. We were very happy with our stay.
