Although the apartment is in a dodgy area of Athens, there were many good take away shops around so the area was fine. Biggest problem of the apartment was that it is infected with numerous cockroaches. I found at least 4-5 everyday from day 1. My partner said that he saw dozens during night in the kitchen but i was too scared to step in. (We kept all foods in the fridge, put rubbish in a sealed bin and kept cooking minimum) At one night we found a cockroach in a bed and that was the end of story. We left the flat 2 weeks earlier than original reservation and no refund was made. We also suffered from mosquitos in warmer nights although our stay was in November.
