The neighbourhood is very rough, and inundated with drug addicts, shooting hard drugs into their veins in the open. And the very road where the apartment is located is covered with rough and unpleasant graffiti, that gave you the feeling that you were in a ghetto. I was harassed persistently and aggressively on two occasions by street addicts while carrying my wallet, passport and mobile with me. And I was robbed 50 euros in Omonia square kind of like magic! I felt stressed while entering and leaving this neighbourhood. Just to add I’m a middle age able bodied man and not particularly attractive to thieves and thugs. This neighbourhood is not for the fainthearted, and only later I realised that there was a wealth of information online about extracheia and Omonia to avoid this neighbourhood, but I had to learn my lesson the hard way.
Positives: modernly decorated 3 bedroom flat, very organised and clean, clear check in instructions, and Anna’s responsiveness on WhatsApp to help with check in. Fairly central location with most things 2-4 metro stations away. 15 minutes walk to the metro station.
