Wow, I've stayed in quite a few AirBnBs, and this was one of my favorite experiences! Initially I worried it might be far, but the tourist sights are walkable, and for any artist/writer/activist/traveler-not-tourist, Exarchia is THE neighborhood (it never sleeps, which made the brilliantly-graffitied streets safe for walking alone at 2am). Romanos grew up there and is a trove of fascinating knowledge. Chatting with him while enjoying his mom's snacks/wine was my favorite part. Afterwards he walked me next door to find a friend who was staying at Hotel Orion.
The studio itself is stylish, adorable and well planned (WiFi, iron, juicer, espresso machine, panini press, coffee & teas, fridge with water & snacks, kitchenware, guidebooks, toiletries, hairdryer, map with recommendations, etc). Athens got up to 48C (112F!) degrees, but I was kept cool and isolated from noise by the charming terraced gardens (during the day I opened the windows; at night I used the AC).
At the beginning of my trip I stayed in a hotel with a lavish breakfast buffet and a rooftop pool, but this was much better - a perfect example of the family hospitality and intimate insider experience with place that AirBnB can offer.
