If you want the local, non-touristy experience during your stay in Athens then this place is for you. It’s located in Metaxourghio which is roughly a 13-15 min cab ride from the Acropolis. It’s definitely urban and while it may look unsafe at a glance, I personally didn’t experience any type of danger or felt any kind of threat. The apartment itself is nicely furnished, clean, and has a nice view of the town. Another plus about this apartment is how close it is to the metro station which will become your best friend. It’s very easy to navigate through once you understand the routes and takes you to all the main areas of Athens including the Pireas harbor. I really enjoyed my stay at this cozy apartment and absolutely love that it’s close to the metro station. Do yourself a favor and get the 5-day pass it’s only 8 Euros and you’ll actually get more outta the 5 days (I took many train rides). You’ll save so much more as opposed to taking cabs. Enjoy!
