The apartment had the basics one needs for a stay of a few nights, and the host, Nikolaos, was very welcoming and nice. Despite some of the issues mentioned below, the apartment appeared clean and tidy and was ultimately a decent accommodation for a short stay. The location is also very central, with Omonia Square and the metro nearby, providing good connections to the main tourist areas. A particular highlight nearby is Stani, a true Athens institution and one of the city's historic sweet shops - their sweets and desserts are absolutely delicious and well worth trying. There are also several specialty coffee shops in the surrounding area, which was a pleasant surprise for us.

− Unfortunately, the apartment we received was not the apartment we selected when making the booking. One of the reasons we chose the accommodation was the terrace and the view shown in the Booking.com pictures. As we were given a different flat in the building, the setup was also different, and the view from the terrace was largely blocked by a net. Despite the apparent order and cleanliness, the flat also felt as though someone had been living there and had simply vacated it in a hurry. There were opened personal hygiene products in the bathroom, while the bedroom closet, whose door did not close properly, contained various personal belongings, including clothes, a toothbrush and even dumbbells. As a result, the expectations created by the Booking.com presentation did not match the actual accommodation. The neighborhood was an even bigger concern. Veranzerou Street is next to Omonia Square, around a 5–7 minute walk north/northwest of Omonia Metro Station. While the square itself is very central, has good connections to the main tourist areas, and can look like a relatively normal and busy urban area during the day, the experience changes dramatically from one street to the next, and even more so in the evening. The streets immediately behind Omonia Square have a very visible presence of homelessness and people struggling with severe drug addiction. The specific blocks around Veranzerou (where the apartment building is located), Sokratous, Menandrou, Vathis Square and towards Agiou Konstantinou felt particularly rough. We arrived from the airport by metro at around 9:30 in the evening, when it was already dark, and we were definitely not prepared for what we encountered. There was also no way to sleep with the window or balcony door open because of the noise coming from the street. We stayed for four nights, and my partner and I made sure to return to the apartment no later than 8:30 in the evening each day, as the streets did not feel safe at all.

unbeatable for the price / great host

For us it was a clear 10 points apartment incl the host. Nikolaos (thanks again!) helped us whenever we needed anything. Everything was super nice! Apartment very clean, very good bed, air conditioning, everything you need. thank you really!

− I'm saying it for the "slightly older" people. The area, just next to the house, doesn't look so well maintained. There are also a lot of drug addicts. That doesn't bother me, they don't even ask for money or anything, they just lie there.

Top! Je reviendrai.

Nikos est un hôte exceptionnel. Il est extrêmement arrangeant. Nous avions besoin de modifier nos horaires d’arrivée et de départ. Il a tout fait pour que ce soit possible. Il y a eu un petit problème d’usage de la machine à laver. En un temps record, le problème était résolu. Nikos nous a offert un accueil 5 étoiles.

− L’appartement est joliment décoré, fonctionnel et agréable.

it is located near the city center

− If you are sensitive to the aesthetic appearance of the neighborhood or street cleanliness, you may not feel completely comfortable here.
