Amazing location for us as it was our first time in Athens. For some reason the host said there weren’t many cafes nearby and we’d need to take transit to get to them but there were actually plenty within a minute with great meals from breakfast to dinner! The area was so nice and we loved it, especially as many parts of Athens can be quite seedy. We felt we lucked out. I would recommend the host to provide a second keycard as the lights and wifi go out when we remove the keycard, which was difficult if one person wanted to stay in and the others wanted to go out.
The apartment itself is cute. Would fit two people comfortably, and three people in a pinch (two would have to share a small double bed). The views from the balcony are great.
Also, this is not at all the fault of the host, but the neighbourhood has a very heavy police presence. A whole truck full of police in full riot gear is constantly parked right outside the AirBnB plus many of them standing throughout the streets. I understand they were there due to political buildings in the area, but it was pretty uncomfortable for three young women to be surrounded by that and I would advise anyone who doesn’t not feel comfortable around the police to be aware of this.
If we were to come back for another short stay we would book this place again. Thanks!
