Let me start by saying that management was very responsive to all of our questions and agreed to move us to another property . We were told the elevator was out and the unit was on the 4th flour, so we opted to stay put and be cautions. One of the reason we choose the place was because the listing emphasized that is was a quite area and loud noise would not be tolerated , and the view of the church and courtyard. What we got was an open air drug market where people stayed all day and night using drugs. Not weed but smoking out if tinfoil and shooting things into thier arms.
From what every taxi driver told us we were staying in the "worst area" in Athens!
Walk one block in any direction and you were back to the beautiful people if Athens. I was on vacation with my adult daughter and wife and we live in the States outside of DC while having lived in New York. Richmond, and other places around the world where threats are much more realistic.
If your young and adventurous and are familiar with being cautios in a big city then by all means give this place a shot, its clean and comfortable and centraly located. If you traveling with children or are a little more timid, STAY CLEAR
