The location of the lodging was right next to the old olympic stadium. The views were great. It was about a 30 minute walk to most of the sites that we wanted to see including acropolis, temple of zeus, plaka, the Agora and monastiraki. The Lycabettus funicular was a 20 minute walk as well but it was uphill hilking there and there were several flights of stairs to climb as you got closer to the funicular. The walk back was much easier. The national archealogical museum was about a 45 minute walk. Taxis were everywhere but seemed like they were hard to flag down. For US travelers I recommend a sim card from Cosmote for your data plans while you are in Greece.
