This is a place for travelers who like something authentic and charming. I made a lot of stories during my stay and for me, that is the most valuable part of travel. Panagiota is a colorful character who is very kindhearted and helpful. I got sick during my stay and she made me some herbal tea with her own dried mountain herbs and raw ginger. I think it is the reason I got better faster! I will say that the acoustics of the building and shared bathroom situation were not ideal and I do wish I had known that smoking happens on the premises beforehand, but this is Athens and if I know anything about Athens, it is that the flexible and amenable are rewarded infinitely with unexpected treasures. The real treasure here, aside from Panagiota's personal, artistic touch on every part of the building, is the amazing rooftop where you are invited to sit and stare at the Acropolis, listen to the lively atmosphere of bouzouki players and diners happening below, and the bells of the nearby church. These sounds might bother some people but for me it was all just a beautiful soundtrack to my adventure. (There is also a city-mandated quiet hour in the afternoon and past midnight so at some point the noise does stop and then it is all just birds. It gets very peaceful.) It is very well located. I had no trouble popping back to my room for a quick nap or to drop some purchases before I had to go somewhere else.
I loved my stay here and I have new friends and fabulous photos from the rich experience. I would recommend it to a seasoned traveler who values authenticity and personality and can be a bit flexible with the rest.
