When we first arrived in Athens and tried to get a cab to this place, our cab driver said it was too dangerous a place for us to stay. We heard this a few times while we were there, but I don’t know what people were talking about! As three young women, we felt perfectly safe in the area. Everyone we spoke to was very kind to us, and it was so close to the metro, cab stops, and great food. Our hosts were always quick to respond when we had questions about directions, and they checked in with us multiple times to make sure our stay was going well. The living area, where one of us was sleeping, got pretty hot and stuffy at night, and the hot water tap in the shower heats up so much during use that it will burn you if you touch it. That said, for the price and the location, it’s hard to imagine finding a better place to stay in Athens!
