I've spent about two months in Toula's lovely apartment in Pagrati and I've loved it! Toula is such kind person, always there for you when you need her or have questions and very quick in her responses (even though she is abroad, she would answer immediately to your messages). She showed me the neighborhood of Pagrati and had great advices regarding shopping or hairdresser. Pagrati is a perfect choice to live when you come to Athens for long or for a short stay. I felt very safe there and had no problems even walking alone at night. It's not a touristic area, however you can be in Plaka or Sintagma in about 15 minutes by bus or trolley. The metro station Evangelismos is about 12-15 minutes walking distance. There're great restaurants and bars...supermarkets and other shops like Hondos Center are very close to the apartment.
The apartment itself is super cosy and lovely decorated and you can find absolutely everything you need! As the apartment is on the 1st floor, there's not a lot of sunlight and therefore it's quite dark. However, that might be a great advantage for hot summer days!
What was a little annoying is that the walls are badly soundproofed so that I could hear the lady next door talking on the phone or watching television or the neighbours upstairs walking. Also construction works were apparently quite common in the nearby apartments. It was not a real problem for me as I had to get up very early to go to work, but Pagrati is definitely not an absolutely silent area:)
I loved this place and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy Athens! Toula and her apartment would be my first choice if I ever come back to Athens! ευχαριστώ πολύ Toula:) !
