Socrates & Margie’s place was excellent! Great location near lots of restaurants and walking distance to most of the main sites. We had no problems getting to the apartment from the airport via Train; however, We did run into a couple of thieves trying to trick folks when using the metro pass machines for the local train. If planing on using the metro in town we recommend being extra cautious as the machines are very loud and announce to everyone near by that you don’t speak Greek when you select English from the menu. We ended up just skipping the metro and walking everywhere instead which worked out just fine.
We highly recommend Socrates and Margie’s place for the neighborhood feel, despite the comment above we felt safe in the area which was just steps away from amazing views of the Acropolis. As for the apartment itself it had everything we needed, was clean and plenty spacious for 2 people.
