Location here could not be more central to many places of interest in Athens. Spiral marble staircase and roof terrace are interesting features of this old building. Responses to my messages and enquiries from Alisa were prompt and considerate. Particularly so following my earlier cancellation because of a family event. Likewise warmly received by Alisa when I arrived. Takeaway food outlets for just a few Euros are closer than a hop and a skip away. For example, large Falafel 3.30 Euros and 500ml bottle of 5% beer 2.5 Euros at the takeaway next door. Supermarkets 2 minutes walk on Mitropoleos. Other permanent residents welcoming also. I thoroughly enjoyed our philosophical conversations and shared moments of good humour with them. No shelves, drawers, or table in the room, so a bit irksome to keep tidy during my nine days! But for all more important considerations this is an exceptional budget solution in my view, and am happy to recommend it to other budget-oriented travellers. Happy also to consider requesting a return stay with Alisa Yannis and Mimi on my next visit to Athens.
