Kristina’s place is very affordable for the traveler who is spending a long or short term stay in Athens. You get a safe and clean room in a large apartment The shower is excellent, the kitchen is large, and the bedroom is also spacious. Kristina was very helpful in answering my questions and giving information about the apartment. The area of Εξαρχία is unique for being next to multiple universities and out-of-the-way restaurants. One major benefit is being close to the National Archaeological Museum.
The affordability has the downside of being a bit far from the city center. Travelers must either take the metro, whose locations are not conveniently positioned to the apartment, the bus which is very easy to take, or a taxi, also easy to take. For travelers who would like to walk and see Athens, this place is for you. For those who like public transit, the latter two options are the best bet. The last downside is the room’s proximity to the main street. An open window may prevent travelers from sleeping well.
Overall, a bit of advance planning either before or during your trip will be helpful for this affordable option.
