Apartment was above a main road intersection so expect horns, and traffic noise around the clock. Take earplugs if this will be a problem for you because it is worth it for this very central location with a max 20 min walk to all the main sites in Athens. We didn't need to use public transport once with everything within easy reach. I recommend reading the local information that Yiannis gives you via e-mail (a copy of which was at the apartment) as without that we would have missed out on some things (for example the 11am parade on Sunday by the tomb of the unknown warrior - arrive half an hour before to catch it in full). The air con was much appreciated, even in October. I would definitely stay here again.
