The location is not really central but is a 7-10 minute walk to the metro station where we purchased a ticket for 5 days for 9 euro. It was only 3 Stops and you were in the tourist area. However, it was nice to be out of the crowds when you wanted to be. The area where the apartment is has lots of local restaurants within walking distance and felt very safe. The apartment is nicely furnished and has everything you might need for a stay in Athens.
