What an amazing place! It is THE place to stay in Athens. I got sick of working from home during Covid so spent two weeks remote working in Greece. Sokol’s place was perfect. WiFi was professional quality. The neighbourhood is really fun and interesting. Think Shoreditch circa 2000- vibrant, young, great restaurants, super outdoor cafes and awesome local family businesses. Plus, everything is a 20min walk away and the Omonoia metro is 10min walk for Piraeus trains. The roof top terrace is breathtaking. Imagine working from home, with a beer, in the sun, overlooking the acropolis! (NB you need a hot spot for the terrace) Sokol was a kind and wonderfully hospitable host. He even left instructions and ingredients for Greek coffee. Yes, some of the street art in neighbourhood implies real hardships and yes, some of the side streets around Chinatown have very real social problems with rough sleeping. However, these problems are everywhere in Athens and defiantly not unique to the area. The entire country has taken a beating in the financial crisis and now with refugees. Be sensible, follow basic ‘big city’ rules and you’ll be fine. I’m a young single female and, as I said, in my opinion if you apply normal caution and common sense, this is a wonderful place to base yourself. The alternative is a very sanitised, boring, and inauthentic experience in an area elsewhere. Five stars for everything and a huge thank you, Sokol.
