Filippos apartment is spacious and very beautiful. The area is a bit rough, heroine addicts reside in neighboring streets, probably since Exarchia was violently cleaned by the police. They were harmless with us, we had no bad encounter but one should know, it’s not the place to enjoy your latte macchiato. You would find that within a 5 to 10 minute walk in the more comforting neighboring districts. Filippos told us upfront about it and gave tips. He was very helpful and responsive. Thank you for the nice stay!
