2/10
This property is completely unsafe for tourists. It is located on Felis Street in central Athens, a location widely regarded by locals as one of the most dangerous streets in the city.
The entire street is surrounded by brothels, homelessness, and visible drug activity. Directly opposite the apartment is a brothel, and the building next door is a derelict shelter that has been broken into and is now used by drug users and the homeless. At no point did we feel safe, especially at night.
This is residential apartment in a poorly maintained building. Throughout our stay, we were repeatedly woken up by loud noises: once by drilling in the building during the night, and another time by screaming and what seemed to be a violent argument outside.
The shower is also faulty, a door panel is missing, so the bathroom floor floods unless you shower very carefully. Additionally, the hot water takes around 20 minutes to heat up, which is extremely inconvenient.
The lift is ancient. In order for it to operate, you need to manually pull a wheel at the top of the inner door something no tourist would reasonably be expected to know. If you don’t, the lift stops working entirely.
The handful of positive reviews on this listing appear to be written by friends/family, they are not reflective of the reality. It’s shocking that a platform like Expedia would allow such a property to remain listed.
