Athens has always been on the top on my list for places to visit, however this place has ruined a big portion of it. The pictures posted aren’t great, but the reality of it that this place is much older, and at worse condition that it actually is.
The location of this place was TERRIBLE with all means, yes it is close to the center, but it was very unpleasant and not very safe. It was located it a very bad neighbourhood where it was surrounded by homeless people, trash scattered around, and people sniffing crack off the ground.
The house was not dirty, but in really bad condition where the walls were torn off, the bathroom had an odd smell all the time, the mattress was very uncomfortable, it was extremely cold especially in the morning, and you could hear literary everything from the outside ( zero insulation).
Besides, the place did not have any WIFI, heating option, and if you need hot water you’d have to schedule your showers so you turn on the hot water 20-minutes before you shower.
Definitely do not recommend this to solo female travellers, not for couples with children, or anyone who cares the slightest for the safety and comfort.
I wish I’ve booked a regular hostel instead.
I have no comments regarding the host as I didn’t interact with him.
