Nice apartment in an off-the-beaten path location. It's also a very short walk to the Petralona metro stop (green line) or you can walk to any of the central locations (it's a great walk across Filopappou Hill to the Acropolis, etc.). We walked or took the metro everywhere.
We were admittedly a bit concerned when we first arrived (very late at night) as the neighborhood is quiet and gritty. That said, those concern were misplaced as we never felt unsafe and had nothing but wonderful experiences with everyone we encountered. And we loved the small streets and intimate feel of the neighborhood. We also loved being away from the hustle and bustle of areas near the Acropoli and Syntagma metro stops (Plaka, etc.), and much preferred this location to those areas. We didn't see any other tourists in the neighborhood and had a very local Athenian experience. The restaurants and bars along (and in the vicinity of) Troon Ave are amazing, very hip, and very local (and at amazing prices, too).
All in all, if you're looking for an authentic experience, away from the boutique stores and tourist traps of neighborhoods east and south of the Acropolis, but still want to be in walking distance to everything in town, this is an excellent location. We would certainly return.
