This is a great, safe neighborhood, full of good tavernas, coffee shops, and bakeries. Good shopping, too. Lots of bookstores, guitar shops, bouzouki shops. It's a mixture of young people and old...a real neighborhood. Close enough to the center to either walk or take a short taxi ride. The apartment is bright and modern and comfortable with every convenience and an amazing view of Lycabettus Hill. Athina was an excellent host. Would definitely stay here again.
