As a solo traveler, new to Athens, I found the apartment comfortable (if a bit small), the host helpful, and the view breathtaking. I spent every evening on the lovely balcony enjoying the view of the Acropolis. That said, as a tourist I found the location challenging. It was only a ten minute walk to the subway, but then 5 to 6 stops to all the major Athens attractions. Not a big deal, except it was more of a hassle then if I had just stayed in a more centrally located apartment. Overall, I felt safe in the neighborhood around the apartment, and there's a sweet bakery across the street, the area is geared towards it's working class population and not tourists. However, if yiu don't mind a bit of a commute, and you love a beautiful view, you will be happy here. s.
