We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Romanos's place. His brother, Jason, welcomed us and gave us very detailed information about where to visit around Athens. Their mother also provided us with some traditional snacks and bread that we immediately devoured the night we got there. Romanos also provided us with oranges and we were able to make our own orange juice one morning. The place was very clean and the terrace is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! It is about a 20 minute walk to the start of the ancient sites. The library of Hadrian is the closest. It's also about a 5 minute walk to the beginning of the trail to Mount Lycabettus. There are tons of restaurants and little grocery stores around. Thanks for giving us a great place to stay!
