Have just spent a week at this amazing apartment. However I need to be balanced and fair which is why I have to raise a few issues about the location.
Firstly the apartment itself is stunning! It is extremely modern, looks amazing with top end features and is perfectly for 2-4 people (although I would suggest 4 is the upper end and you would be on top of each other). However for a couple it is perfect. It was clean, functional, stylish and extremely good value.
It had everything I needed including iron, washing machine, 2 large TV with Netflix, Amazon etc and good WiFi. The check in process was amazingly easy, the building was secure and safe and I never had any issues whilst there. 10/10 for the apartment and building.
HOWEVER - you need to be aware of the location. Victoria Square which is only a few blocks away has in the recent past had some challenging times with refuges. Whilst only a 5 min walk away for the metro which links you to ‘downtown’ Athens, some are going to find this area a challenge.
1) there are a number of refugee squats in the area, the nearest being only a block away.
2) you are bang smack in the middle of a red light district know as Fylis Street. You do not have women walking the streets, but there is a lot of activity from men seeking the local brothels.
3) drug usage is prevalent in the area. Very visible.
As a result, the area, especially after dark, is a little challenging, whilst I had zero actual problems with the locals, it can be a little intimidating. I had at least one taxi driver and a local resident state that the area is not safe.
This poses and issue as to how I rate this apartment. Ultimately I have decided 4/5. The apartment itself is as good as it can get. The location is poor and will put some off. However if the location is not an issue for you, I strongly recommend.
