I spent a month in Sophia’s place. The apartment is clean, in good shape and in good location. Small and ground floor, but not dark or cramped. There was everything I needed and I would not mind staying longer.
Small terrace is facing private parking lot, so it felt safe and calm. There wasn’t any noise from other apartments, which is a rare plus. Some construction work going on in the building, but it bothered me only on couple days.
The neighborhood is nice and felt safe after dark. Grocery store, ATM and restaurants around the corner and if you like, Starbucks down the street. Walk to Acropolis is not exactly short and you have to cross traffic, but there are great museums on the way. Metro is very convenient, it is only a few minutes away and offers direct connection to the Airport, Piraeus or Monastiraki.
I have had a very good time in Athens and Sophia’s place played important part. Sophia is attentive, communicative and caring and you really can’t ask for a better host, imo.
