Romina is one of the best hosts ever! She is extremely welcoming, really nice, and very available for questions: she sat down with us when we arrived to tell us about the many options in Athens and, specifically, the neighborhood. We often followed her recommendations and we never had any regrets. Koukaki is a great place to stay: it is just off the way-too-touristic Plaka, still only a 10-minute walk from the Acropolis. Right next to the apartment is the best spot we found: the pedestrian Olympiou street with all its bars, restaurants, and outdoors action (the food is great and not very expensive, because it is mainly for locals). Romina’s apartment (it should be noted that it is in the basement) is small, cozy, and quite convenient. Ideal for 2, perhaps tiny for more. The kitchen is a bit small to cook in, but the terrace is a wonderful place to have cocktails before heading out for food. We enjoyed our stay.
