Athens Studio is a cosy and modern apartment, recently totaly renovated (2019). It is only 3 min from Metaxourgeio metro station, 5 min from the National Archaeological Museum, 10min from Larissis Train Station and 15min walk from the historical center. The studio is ideal for single traveller and couples.
The studio apartment itself is perfect for a short stay, especially if youâre planning to be out all day, itâs got everything you might need. Communication with the manager was great via WhatsApp, on first morning I realised the hairdryer didnât work and it was replaced with a new one within half an hour. It canât be helped but the area is rough to put it mildly, I didnât feel exactly unsafe but you do need to be careful not to step into a syringe or other things left by drug addicts on the pavement. Youâre only 15 minutes walk away from Psyrri/Plaka though and the metro is close so itâs a good base for sightseeing.
The room itself was clean and looked exactly like the photos with the amenities described. But, as a someone who has never been to Athens, the area was super run down and considered the drug hub and when I turned down one wrong corner, there was a so many homeless/junkies. I donât like to write reviews like this but I want to warn others who might book here. The apartment building where the room is was super dirty and a lot of doors were broken or looked smashed (break ins) and the window in the stairwell looked like someone smashed a brick through it. I wouldnât recommend due to the area and how unsafe I felt as a woman traveling alone.
