as a first time visitor in Athens, the location is perfect. It is central to sightseeing. the monastiraki metro a few meters away and the A15 stop of the blue/red tour buses at the opposite end makes it so convenient. the local area has the must see places (central market, leather shops, etc) all in walking distances. the apartment is big, confortable, nice toiletries, a view of the Acropolis. Despina is a wonderful host, constantly keeping in touch to make your travel plans in order . the taxi service she provided was excellent ( thank you to the driver) . our overall experience make us want to come back soon. will definitely be back !
