Stayed here for a week with family. I had a work meeting on two of the days so we were looking for a family home, close to museums and attractions as well as easy access to transport links, this apartment ticked all of those boxes.
The apartment is charming, like staying at an elderly relatives home. There is plenty of space and the beds are comfortable with lots of spare bedding and blankets.
The kitchen has an old electric cooker and a Breville style grill for toasted sandwiches, a large fridge and freezer. The water is fine to drink but there is a water filter on the tap which is a nice touch. We boiled water on the hob for hot drinks and managed to cook one meal using the hob.
The bathroom has an old bath (without a plug) with a handheld shower hose which was sufficient but made washing the kids more difficult than it could have been. Hot water is provided via a solar tank on the roof, we ran out twice but there is a boiler as a back up if you can wait for it to heat up.
You can't flush toilet paper down the loo here, or anywhere in the city, so check where to dispose of the waste as the bag fills up quickly with a family of four!
The area is actually quite safe despite the large amount of graffiti claiming that airbnb guests were 'not welcome' and 'a target'. The area is apparently well known for counter-culture, my colleague described it as the 'Anarchist capital of Athens' I was surprised that none of the other reviews had mentioned it.
This is definitely the place to be if you are looking for vegan and vegetarian options or even foods with cannabis products as ingredients! There are a number of record shops nearby too but they nearly all specialise in thrash metal. There are some amazing works of street-art, I would have taken more photos of it but I didn't want to identify myself as a tourist.
Taxis are easy to get and the metro stations are only a 10 minute walk.
