If you're looking for a great location in the city, this is the place! Walking distance to subways to get around to major tourist spots! To be honest you may think the location of the airbnb is a sketchy location but after a day it really isn't that bad, you get used to it. The host lives next door and you are in a room that takes 3 security doors to get through, so you are quite safe with an amazing room! The host was very nice and open hearted. I noticed the last night of the 3 nights I was there, he was waiting outside near the building for his other guest to show up(he has another room he hosts just like this one) I'm assuming he waited for awhile(my friend and I were coming back to our airbnb late at night) which gave me a thought; he probably did the same when I first arrived for my room, which I think is very welcoming for a host. I do believe he notices how you feel about the area of why it looks sketchy but he's comforting by telling you it's actually quite safe. A lot of people from athens are active at night so there's always a lot of people out in about doing things. If I ever come back to Athens I'd definitely stay here again! Also the bed was super comfy and I loved the bathroom especially the shower! I didn't go out on the balcony but the view was pleasant.
