I had a good time in Athens however I found the area a bit unsafe at night. Unfortunately the apartment was not comfortable for a longer stay because there was no where to sit such as a loveseat or easy chair and the bed was hard. As well the communication of the host was lacking and they didn't provide proper check out instructions. I had to fly out early so my message wasn't attended to for over 2 days about where to leave the keys! Other reviews mention the older elevator and dark stairwell so definitely keep that in mind. The wifi was also painfully slow and cut out often which was a problem.
