The Psyri neighbourhood is such a vibrant, exciting and colourful place, we were so glad to stay in Alexandro's place right in the middle of it all. Denisa was SUPER LOVELY helping us get settled in and giving us the lay of the land. She was totally prepared to give us tips specific to what kind of travellers we are, including where to eat, drink, shop and walk. Which was all we did while in Athens!
The place itself is super simple, and also very secure with a garage door that closes over the entrance. This is handy because if you're not used to the grittiness commonly found in big-city neighbourhoods undergoing gentrification, you may be initially a little nervous in this area. But we felt safe the entire time, morning, day and night.
The bed was great. Shower too! And thankfully a full-length mirror to help us check ourselves out before heading into the trendy and fashionable streets outside. It wasn't super hot while we visited but the A/C was great when we needed it after a few hours of walking around.
Check-in and check-out were super smooth. Even though finding street numbers / signs can be a challenge in Athens and we mixed up the buildings a little. Denisa was very understanding.
We were so happy to wander the streets in Psyri and then also it was so walkable down to the major tourist spots. We had a great time.
