We loved the location of Yiannis's Airbnb. Close to 2 metro lines, walking distance to major sites and most importantly it's in an up and coming neighborhood with a plethora of great bars and restaurants just steps away. Athens is a huge metropolitan city, much like NYC. Don't be too put off by graffiti etc, it's in every neighborhood in Athens. The airbnb is in an awesome location that allowed us to easily get where we needed during the day and really enjoy Greek culture in the evening. The apartment also has a great indie music vibe with fun CD's, books and games to occupy time. Highly recommend.
