So many wonderful things to say about my stay in Romanos' apartment and Athens! The only part of me that is happy to leave is my gut, which indulged in the profiteroles/ice cream shop down the street far too often. Romanos' place is located in what he described as the "bohemian" neighborhood of Athens where all the writers and artists live. From what I experienced, I would have to agree! The neighborhood buildings are covered in graffiti masterpieces and people were always sitting outside in cafes. As a young woman traveling alone, safety is always on my mind. Never did I feel unsafe walking alone at night, even when I arrived at Romanos' place at midnight the first night. Romanos himself was a wonderful and gracious host. When I arrived, there were homemade spinach pies on the table, as well as bread, olives, and oranges (the flat comes with a juicer!). The flat was impeccably decorated and there was not a thing out of order. Everything was in working order and the shower was hot and had good pressure. Stay here. You won't regret it.
