Trip details: 22nd - 29th of November (One week till Greece!)

Unfortunately my last trip to Athens had to be cancelled due dangerously restless situation in Greece, and since my hotel was so close to the Parliament House, which obviously was the place that all the problems were, after long thinking and talking with my boyfriend, we found it smart solution to cancel this time and see the situation next month. Since situation in Greece has been going to better direction, not much but a tiny bit, it was time to book new flights and find a new hotel that's not as center as the last one I intended to go - just in case.

I'm so done with cold days in Finland, and even tho it's definitely not warm in Greece either, it's definitely better (about 10 degrees warmer). I really miss Athens and it's been long two months, but now there's only a week to go and I'm back in my second home.

I looked over lots of hotels, main things to look at were free wi-fi access in the rooms, refrigerator (since we didn't plan to eat out every single time we need to feed), and of course metro station nearby. I also didn't wanna book hotel too far away, since I like to walk around and this location is actually quite close to Plaka, Ermou shopping street and even Syntagma where's the best coffee place in the world, is only about 15 minutes away by foot.

My budget for this time was somewhat smaller than before, like it was supposed to be even last time. I hoped to find a hotel that's under 500€ for a week, and this was the winner of hotel lottery:
