Konstantina and Eugene were stellar hosts and very welcoming and helpful during the stay. The apartment is fantastically situated, clean and has all the amenities you could hope for. The balcony is a stand-out feature, and was used for hours early each day for view and the morning sun.
The location is central to everything you would like to access, and sits within walking distance of most of the main sights. For those places further out, the apartment sits between two central train stations that would easily take you to your destination.
There are also all the best eating and drinking options within a short walk.
For those who would like to swim with easy access from the apartment, I recommend taking the 122 bus from Elliniko station and jumping out somewhere along the coast.
Previous guests have left comments questioning the safety of the neighbourhood. It needs to be said that the area is perfectly safe. The neighbourhood locals are incredibly friendly and helpful people.
Yes, it is often painful to see the hardship facing those who live in the city. But travellers should not be dissuaded by the ignorance of past guests who have chosen to holiday in Athens without considering the realities of a ten-year financial crisis.
Thank you Konstantina and Eugene.
