Incredible find, but with a few important notes:
NOISE:
It’s fairly noisy during the day. Just being in a generally busy traffic area.
There was very very loud construction going on in neighbouring buildings (jackhammers, impact drills) unbearable noise. This construction noise is from 8am - 3pm mon- Friday.
So if you will be out during those hours you’ll be fine. After 3pm the area is very quite and the terrace is amazing. But if you plan to work from here or stay in the apartment during the day then I strongly suggest you ask the host if all the construction is finished (by the looks of things it will be going on for at least a few months)
THE AREA:
The area is edgy. It’s rough around the edges. Lots of graffiti etc.
I never felt unsafe, and we had no issues. I think it looks more edgy than it actually is - so if you are tolerant of being in a not pretty part of town then you are getting a real bargain on an amazing apartment.
It’s close enough to the nice restaurant areas, but the walk home from restaurants late at night might make you a little uncomfortable. My wife was a little uncomfortable.
I don’t think it’s unsafe at all, just a bit rough looking.
THE APARTMENT
The host was incredible. Very accommodation and helpful.
Apartment was clean, everything works well.
The balcony has clear view of the Parthenon at night, very special.
Would I stay here again?
Yes, but only if construction noise was over.
