maria is a most welcoming and caring host. she was there personally when i arrived, and also to see me off when i left. during my week-long stay she was always there to answer any questions or requests and even brought me greek herbs for tea and cooking. the apartment is beautiful, very well located, with neo kosmos metro station only a five minute walk away, a late night supermarket literally at the corner, and the national museum of contemporary art just ten minutes in foot. the area is pleasantly quiet (residential), which makes it ideal for winding down after a busy day in the city. it has three balconies, two of which are lavishly equipped with potted plants, very lovely and cozy spots to sit. i can only recommend this apartment and its wonderful host!
