The area ,for some, would be negative but for us it was good. The closer to the square you get, the more expensive the food. We ate near the square and it was 60€. The three restaurants we ate at were all in the neighborhood and excellent! The neighborhood restaurants were €29-€39 and we feasted on better food! The area does have graffiti but is safe and walkable. We ate at Zampano’s, the Rooster and the Egg, and another restaurant— all were fabulous! Zampano’s is half way to the square and a perfect place for breakfast and to get recommendations for other restaurants. The room was great and the bed was comfortable. It does have a washer but instructions are in Greek (duh on my part). There’s not an American style dryer so if you wash clothes a clothes hanger is provided— just be sure you stay long enough for your clothes to dry. A good place to stay near the square with a train that goes to the airport! Big plus! Taxi was €60 and the train was €10– the train was so easy to use.Thanks
