Answer 1

If you want something close to all the action then the Monastiraki hotel is where you want to go.

Everything is in walking distance...Flea Market next to Monastiraki station, Thiseio, Plaka, Parthenon etc and so forth.

If you want to be surrounded by English speakers, go see the Aussie boys at Athens Backpackers.  Close to the metro and a nice view of the Acropolis from their rooftop bar.

Answer 2

I honestly dont know about the above so i am going to answer the 2nd part of the question.

Athens is  very safe for two women. According to Eurostats, Athens is currently the safest capital in Europe. As long as you use some common sense, there is nothing to worry about. Have fun! =)
