Well suited for long-term stays!
After experiencing numerous Athenian neighbourhoods and AirBnB apartments over the last six months, I highly recommend Sophia´s place for various reasons: flooded with light, high ceilings, many windows allow air circulation; a wonderful balcony above a pedestrian passage without transit traffic, averagely quiet. In the evenings, many people are out and about in the trendy left-wing district, which has many small cafés, bars and restaurants that are often open until after 3 am. I always did grocery shopping in a small health food store next street. The central location of the flat allows to reach a lot of the surrounding neighbourhoods on foot, including Monastiraki and Plaka (below the Acropolis), Omonia and Syntagma (the biggest hubs of the city), or Gazi (with a variety of nightclubs and the Technopolis City of Athens) as well as Lycabettus Hill and Strefi Hill for spotting sunsets. By means of the next metro station (Omonia, 10 mins by foot), all quarters can be quickly accessed, anyway. Although demonstrations can occur from time to time, Exarcheia can be considered very safe for international travellers.
Service/ Communication: Check-in and communication went smoothly. No incidents occurred during my 40-day stay. Nevertheless, Sophia checked in with me regularly and inquired about my well-being. Personal, courteous, interested, which I do not take for granted.
