As a solo female traveler on a budget, Katerina’s place was perfect. Very small, but had everything I needed. Katerina was very gracious and invited me into her home multiple times for coffee & mezze. She was lovely to talk with and gave me great tips/recommendations about the city. Most importantly, I felt very safe. It was great to be right in Katerina’s backyard (literally) in case I needed anything and the neighborhood felt very safe. It is about a mile outside of the city center, but it was much less touristy and not crowded at all. I recommend for anyone looking to experience a more authentic side of Athens.
