This was the authentic bohemian experience in Exarcheia. It felt like staying in an artist's space overlooking the entire city, a cozy glass box with an incredible view. You can see the whole city even while you shower. On a sunny day, the whole place lights up, so be prepared to wake up at dawn - which is the best time to look at Athens, when the whole city is purple and pink. At night, you can see the Acropolis right out the window, lit up and stunning. The neighborhood is a hip, young, punk rock kind of place with incredible street art. It may be infamous, but we never felt unsafe walking around at night. This isn't a tourist area, which is a bonus as far as I'm concerned, but the locals here are welcoming to foreigners of every kind. Be aware that this is not a place to stay if you have mobility issues of any kind. There's an elevator in the building, but getting to the roof requires climbing stairs, and the neighborhood itself is composed of more stairways than streets. It's a workout!! Angeliki is sweet, helpful, and responsive as a host. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a real and unique stay in Athens.
