Big thanks to the owner!! He kindly picked us up from our ferry at the Pireas entrance. Although it was for a fee of $20, we were extremely appreciative of this gesture as the apartment would have been well over an hour walk! Upon arriving the apartment, we were a little sceptical of its location. Perhaps I’m naive when I wasn’t fully aware how run down the city of Athens is. The apartment it’s self was small and quaint (dorm room style). It was very clean and properly furnished with the amenities needed for our 2 night stay. There was even a little Greece memento for us (thank you!!). The apartment was located within a 10mins walk to the market and square and the Parthenon monuments. Although the walk was short, there were a few rough streets on the way. As for our stay, Oltian was very helpful and texted to check in on how we were doing which was really nice. He also set us up with a taxi for our departure to the airport for a flat rate of $38. Overall, the apartment was clean and located accordingly.
Suggestions to the owner - if you could provide a map of “safe streets” to walk to get to the prime tourist locations, that would be extremely convenient.
