This apartment is at the northern edge of the tourist blast zone. A walk to the Acropolis will take you past one million souvenir shops. To the northeast the neighborhood is not so trendy, though I never felt unsafe. Sokol was great. He arranged taxi from the airport and back to the airport, let us stay later than checkout when we were running late, took care of our luggage the last day. The checkin is via lockboxes and the process was well explained with pictures. And, the taxi driver did most of it as he is friends with Sokol. This is a good place to stay.
