Sokol was very communicative and he let us check-in early which was much appreciated after coming off a 16+ hour flight. the accommodation itself is located a short distance from most of the main attractions and close to transit. there isn't much going on in the immediate neighborhood but it doesn't take long to get to plenty of resteraunts in nearby Plaka. Like most of athens the accommodation is located in a neighborhood that is rough around the edges but that seems to be the norm and it was by no means unsafe. if your visiting athens for a couple days and want to see the major sites this accommodation is a good option.
