This place is in the true spirit of AirBnB.
Panagiota is a wonderful, well traveled, kind, and hospitable person who's opened up her home to travelers. This is not an IKEA show-room or a cluster-room hotel. It is a Greek artist's house, filled with knick-knacks, hand-painted canvases and banners, vintage furniture, traditional upholstery.
While I was there, Panagiota came. We talked for hours. She cooked me dinner - locally made pasta and cheese with a few drops of truffle-infused olive oil. I felt like I was visiting an old friend. She makes a room into a home.
The price of this place is fantastic, and it's in the center of Monastiraki, the heart of Athen's old town and flea market. Outside the door is the full adventure of Athens, brimming with tourists, locals, ice cream and clothing shops, fruit stands, the metro, and a five minute walk to both the acropolis and the parliament buildings.
No where else in the world will you feel more at home in a more fantastic place.
