Giota’s place is in the best area if you want to discover Athens. It’s nearby all the classical sites but also lots of shopping and tons of restaurants. Almost anywhere you’d want to go is walkable from her place. The house has a really good aesthetic, beautiful old windows and lots of light. She’s really helpful with anything you might need to know or restaurant recommendations. I got sick while I was there and she was so sweet to me and really helpful. A room at her house is an incredible value for the location it is in. The bathroom has very hot water and a good shower. The neighborhood is noisy but that is unavoidable in this area of Athens and really in every area of Athens I’ve been. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to discover Athens.
