Romanos's place is an amazing find! His family's hospitality is phenomenal and the apartment and garden are truly a dream-like break from the hustle and bustle of Athens. Although I never met Romanos in person, his brother, Jason, was super helpful with many tips about Athens when we arrived. They have a map prepared with the apartment location marked as well as the main places to see and all of their recommendations for food, drinks, etc. Jason provided us with every tip from historical facts to where was best to get Acropolis tickets with less of a line. Romanos's mother and father initially let us in and were incredibly sweet. His father carried up our bags and his mother made us a delicious Greek omelette. Romanos also provided us with breakfast for the first day, which included bread, butter, homemade marmalade, honey from their friend, and olives and olive oil from their olive trees. The apartment is located in Exarcheia, which is about a 25 minute walk to the Acropolis, but a lively, vibrant, and alternative neighborhood in Athens with bars and restaurants around every corner and an intriguing history of involvement in recent liberal movements, evident via the awesome graffiti and street art prevalent to the area. It is also only a 5 min walk to the archeological museum. I definitely recommend Romanos's apartment to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable stay in Athens!
