I stayed two days at Romano's place in the centre of Athens. The house is truly beautiful beeing very special in comparison to the usual architecture of the 60ies within Greece.
Romano's picked us up and organised very well our arrival. We had all we need in the appartment including some local food his mother made for us.
The neighbourhood is full of bars and local shops (but it is not noisy). Also there was a local farmers market just in front of the door. All sightseeing attractions are good to reach by feet or the metro.
All in all it's a special place to stay.
