Our stay at Sokol’s was great. We knew the space was small (as advertised) but was very functional. The best part of the space is the patio. We ended up cancelling all reservations with “Acropolis view” because we didn’t need to go anywhere for that. We had a beautiful and unobstructed view of the Acropolis and sunset each night. The telescope and binoculars were a great bonus too!
The neighbourhood seems rough, by western standards, but the graffiti is common throughout Athens and considered art, and does not define the safety of the area. It is in a commercial part of the city, but there are many hidden gems within walking distance
