Amazing view of the Parthenon
We enjoyed our stay at Harry's apartment. The apartment had everything we needed including a full size fridge, oven, coffeemaker, etc. The washing machine was invaluable and detergent was provided. We really wanted a view from the balcony and this place had it. We could sit outside and see the Parthenon lit up each night. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to the stadium and gardens. It's about a 30 minute walk from the main attractions but we did not mind it. The Evangelismos metro station is a 10 minute walk and brings you to all the main spots. This line also leads directly to the airport. There was just two of us so we saved a lot of money using the metro rather than a cab. We ended up using Uber/taxis for dinners near Filopappou Hill and the price was between $5-$10, which we thought was reasonable. We would always walk the 30 minutes home, and felt extremely safe. Athens seems alive at all hours of the night. There are several small cafes nearby and a late night grocery store. Harry lives in the building and is easily accessible for assistance. He kindly let us check in early and leave a bit later-we really appreciated it. If you want a safe quiet place with a great balcony, this is the spot.
