When I first reached the location, the graffiti turned me off, but I quickly realised that this was a real neighbourhood, not a touristy part of the city (though it's very close to everything). Romanos was incredibly helpful and accommodating - from meeting us when we arrived, letting us check-in super early, arranging for a great cab for us to be taken to the airport but most of all, talking with my wife for 15 minutes to help her use the washing machine. I don't expect all my hosts to go over and above but when they do, you know they are passionate about what they do. Also, the location was surrounded by some of the best bakeries I've ever encountered in any city - just an incredible and diverse selection all right next to each other. I'd recommend the place to anyone!
