I stayed at this flat for nearly two months during a very stressful family crisis (terminal cancer). I am Greek but live abroad permanently.
For a budget traveler this is one of the best choices. It’s real value for money. Nice vintage furniture, contemporary art on the walls, a very comfortable bed, all appliances functional, satisfactory insulation from (traffic) noise, good taste, and certainly perfect communication with a very respectful host. It is not often that you pay a low price but are treated with politeness. The flat is in worn state, but clean and very decent. The airco is in top condition.
The neighborhood is quite rough and shabby (incl. the building itself) and there is a lot of poverty and junkies, but there are no safety issues. I never once had a problem, day or night. It is much safer than it looks.
The subway is very near, and that’s a big plus. The supermarket and bakery are exactly across the street, also very handy.
There are only two things that need to be fixed: there’s a shower curtain missing, and two power sockets don’t function.
I love the 2 large plants (indoors / balcony) and would personally like even more of them! The carpet is also a great design.
None of the other Airbnb spaces on the same price level can compare to this one.
