This is a very nice apartment in a rather old building and in a run down neighborhood. But as they say, Athens is a city of grunge and grace! The neighborhood is safe - there is a police station down the block, streets are well lit and it is very quiet. We appreciated the elevator for the 5th floor apartment. Yorgos is very responsive to questions and instructions for check in were very well written and easy to follow. Tasty Corner is a great restaurant within a 3 minute walk. The metro is only a couple of blocks away. Be careful on crowded metros, my husband has his wallet stolen.
