LISTEN UP. Romanos & his parents were AMAZING. I cannot convey their kindness and hospitality enough in a review, but I'm going to try. 1) Romanos booked us a taxi that picked us up at the airport, and both he & his parents were waiting at the BNB to welcome us and help with luggage ( his parents did this, again, when we left btw ) 2) His mother, Maria, an Amazing woman, cooked some delicious food to welcome us, too 3) He had a map of Athens along with a list of his most recommended bars, cafes, restaurants etc. Plus he was open to communication for more advice through out our entire visit.
But THIS is where they went above and beyond in my book. On my last day in Athens, I hurt my foot going down some steps at a Monastery. By the time we got back into the city it was swollen, and late, and I was in too much pain to walk anywhere. By then Romanos & Maria had been so helpful I felt comfortable asking if they had an ACE bandage type wrap I could borrow or buy off them. Maria was at our door immediately, bandage in hand, asking about my health, etc. When my mom offered money for the bandage, she refused it, and the next morning she helped me down to our taxi, arm in arm.
I swear to you, if you choose one of Romanos' BNBs for your stay in Athen you WILL NOT regret it. I remember thinking the price wasn't too bad when I booked the place, and now I can easily double down on that belief. With everything this kind, amazing family has to offer, it's a Worth it stay I PROMISE. Book them. You won't regret it. I sure as hell didn't. Me & my mom were honestly Saddened to leave them. We got a little misty eyed as funny as that may sound to some of you.
Thank you!!
