Dimitra is very reactive and the flat is big and clean and as in the description. It is only a few minutes from the next metro stations (Metaxourgeio and Omonia) and very conveniently in walking distance to the city center.
The neighborhood is fairly run-down with homeless people and drug-addicts on the streets (which explains the good price). The police seems to come once in a while, will move them a bit further, and they’ll eventually come back after a few days. The area is rougher than I expected, but although I considered looking for another location during the first hours of our stay, we soon noticed that different types of population share this neighborhood in good intelligence, and after 24 hours of adaptation, neither my teenager children nor my 75 years old mother wanted to change location. We stayed, and were indeed never bothered by anyone. My mother went in the morning alone looking for a coffee, and all the neighbors were friendly and helped her finding a place open this early. When walking to the center I would still recommend to stick to the main streets (Agiou Konstantinou and Athinas) and keep the narrower streets to the minimum even if it is not the shortest way.
Neighborhood is also quite loud on some nights (music, honking) so I recommend to bring earplugs.
Overall the whole family enjoy staying at Dimitra’s place.
