Miglen and his sister Iglika were the most communicative of any hosts I’ve used thus far. I felt very cared for and Miglen even texted me a photo of the entry way shortly before I arrived to make it so easy.
The room in the shared apartment was perfect for me as the location is so central and close to the metro.
I found the bread supplied for breakfast surprisingly tasty!
The apartment reminded me a lot of my sister’s in NYC from the 70’s. The neighborhood is not considered ideal and on one side of the block there are many vagrants but as a female solo traveler I had no issues by walking in well lit areas as I approached the building. When I researched it I found that this area—although not considered ideal in Athens is still much safer than most places in my home city in the USA.
I would stay here again and hope to do so with a companion. Thank you!
