Thomas and Svetlana were tremendously gracious hosts and the Airbnb is in a historic core of Athens with an incredibly rich anarchist and socialist history. It's very safe, with funky people and graffiti all around. It gets a bad rep because of these things, but after spending a week there, I think there's not an inch of safety issues to worry about. There's a lot of life, politics and color, so one has to go and see what it's all about. I could spend several more weeks just learning about the history of Exerchea let alone see all the central sites around it (including the fantastic archeological museum) and the amazing restaurants just around the corner. The BnB is honestly a home, and our hosts made every effort to make it extremely lovely and livable. Every single need was taken care of. Thanks for the great hosting and especially for the superb selection of books.
