We had a great stay in Athens! The apartment safe, clean and walkably close to many restaurants and tourist sites.
The adjoining neighborhood is not for the faint of heart though. It is very "earthy". If you are looking for a pampered, 5-star getaway, this is not your place. If you are a frugal traveler, don't mind mixing with the locals and getting your shoes dirty, this locale is sure to please!
Sokol is a great host and we would stay again!
