Staying at the dream studio was a lovely experience. The area is right off the tourist track so much more interesting. I suppose it might not be everyone's 5 fantastic stars of an area, but for anyone with imagination it would be ! Though I wouldnt particularly want to walk about at night alone, as the metro is further than just round the corner, during the day I felt totally safe exploring - loved it and would definitely jreturn to the same area again. Nice local cafes and restaurants nearby. It is possible to cook there, and as there's a great fruit and veg market on Saturday and food shops close, this was very useful. Romano and Marie - his mother who lives next door - are truly kind, generous spirits, ready to help or answer any queries about Greece. Romano even made a phone call on my behalf, and really put himself out to ensure my trip was smooth. He's an interesting person, philosopher and writer, and his mother equally interesting and talented. I felt very lucky to be there and sitting on the balcony when the sun shone was bliss! But the most fantastic thing was some delicious food which Marie had prepared for when I arrived ! And tasty food for breakfast. She makes a real effort to prepare the room with love and care. Highly recommended.
