The apartment is lovely - exactly as in the photos with the most amazing views. Comfortable furniture and spacious rooms with the lounge area taking first prize.
The suburb appears a little grubby and shabby to begin with but is a city living after all and not different to many of the pavements of New York and other cities.
Pagrati is well located - Metro is ten-minute walk and Syntagma 20 mins pleasant walk. There are nice restaurants and bars within walking distance but you need to do a little research - dont expect to find them in the immediate area
