As mentioned by many others before us, we found Filio to be a delightful host and her apartment was exactly as pictured. Filio was waiting for us on arrival and talked us through how everything worked in the apartment . Filio was then happy to answer our questions about Athens and gave some great hints and tips about restaurants and places to explore.
Filio stayed in contact with us throughout our stay and check out.
The apartment is a ten/fifteen minute walk from Monastiraki square and there are lots of lovely restaurants and bars in the direction of Gazi. The area is very multicultural and is ideal for people who don’t want to be right in the city centre but want easy access to it.
As mentioned in previous reviews, you might encounter the odd drug users and general homelessness but we never felt unsafe whatsoever.
