Communication with hosts was excellent and prompt. They were hospitable even to my dumb questions (because I did not take the time to read the handbook which would have answered all my questions). We had a rental car but just left it at the apartment for our time in athens. The metro was a quick and safe 8-10 minute walk. The main acropolis site was about 10 minute ride on the metro, without switching trains. It felt so quick we didn't even sit down. We walked home in the dark every night and it felt very safe. There were kids playing on the streets and playgrounds in the dark as well. There are multiple restaurants and coffee shops in the area. We hit up the little mini-mart shop on the corner of the block a couple times for sodas and ice cream, and some breakfast foods. They closed at 10pm so that was nice. We usually ate dinner near the historical sites before taking the metro back to the apt at night so I can't comment on good restaurants nearby. The apt had more hot water than we had in two of our other Greek VRBO reservations so that was nice. All 5 of us got hot showers. The master bed was also the most comfortable of all our stays in Greece. Though the living room area is already quite large it felt even more open with the large balcony windows which have metal doors that can close over them at night. The apartment is a few flights of stairs up so it would not be recommended for elderly folks or those with mobile physical disabilities. There is available laundry/washer, though we didn't partake because of the drying time for clothes in Greece in October. The wifi was a bit slow, so this would not be an ideal location if you had to get some work done fast or be on an important zoom call or something. Hints: If driving, leave for the airport 3-4 times ahead of what GPS tells you it will take. Crazy traffic. Also we pulled our rental van out of the parking space late at night and onto the street so as to not risk getting blocked in when we needed to get to the airport, Taking the metro to the airport would have been seriously faster than driving. (but the 5 of us with all our luggage would have taken an entire train car). We really enjoyed our stay. Thank You!
