This apartment is conveniently located by the metro and regional train stations, which made getting to and fro the city center easy. At night it’s quiet and you can sleep peacefully, although the alley cats may sing you to sleep (can’t be avoided as there are cats everywhere in the city). As a solo female traveler, I didn’t feel unsafe in the neighborhood; however, I didn’t go out late at all, so I would recommend taxiing back if you’re coming back late. There’s a coffee shop and restaurant around the corner. If you want to be *right* in the hustle and bustle, you’ll have to pay more to be in Plaka, Psiri, etc. This is a ~20ish min walk / ~12 min metro ride north of the sites, but not inconvenient.
The hot water worked, no problem, and the host provided thoughtful extras like sunscreen and a variety of shampoos.
The AC was a godsend, as Athens is still hot in Sept.
The WiFi worked, although I had to switch between the two networks. Once that was sorted, I was able to do video calls, etc. no problem.
One major callout: there’s an elevator after the initial few stairs, so you don’t have to haul your stuff/self up the stairs after a long day of walking.
