The apartment was in a safe middle-class residential neighborhood. There are a couple of bakeries, fast food joints, supermarket and restaurants in the area. The metro station Evangelismos (ΣΤ.ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΜΟΥ) is 1 kilometer away. The metro station goes directly to and from the Airport, which is very convenient. The apartment was clean and the communication with the host was very good.
All the must-see touristy stuff is 1.5-2km away, which is a 30 minute walk.
This apartment is situated on a moderately busy street above a storefront on the 2nd floor. One of the bedrooms faces the street, while the other bedroom is in the back of the building. Since it was just the two of us, we stayed in the bedroom further away from the street, it was extremely quiet and dark with shades down and the mattress was good. So we had a good night of rest.
The only inconvenience we experienced was the extremely low shower water pressure and plumbing issues in the bathroom which the host will hopefully address.
The large balcony was a big plus.
