Antonia and her sons were great. Easy check-in and the flat and location were great. It’s an excellent little flat to see Athens from- I walked everywhere!
It was my first trip to Athens. I arrived at night and walked from Monastiraki station, which is about a 10-15 minute walk. I decided to exit there rather than transfer trains and use the Thisio stop.
The streets from Monastiraki to the apartment were not a well-lit, and there was graffiti everywhere. I started to feel like I’d made a mistake and gotten a place in a dangerous part of the city.
When I arrived, Antonia’s son, Stefanos, checked me in a reassured me that the neighborhood was fine. In the daylight, I realized that it’s just a neighborhood with a lot of graffiti. I never had any problems.
If you arrive at night, I’d recommend taking Thisio station (as Antonia recommends). It’s much closer.
I’d definitely stay there again when I return to Athens 👍
