We (3) absolutely loved our stay in Athens. Rania's place made it perfect. The apartment was charming, very comfortable, and handy to major sites, but just off the major tourist traffic areas. Rania's friend, neighbour and taxi driver, Spiros, picked us up at the airport, introduced us to the neighbourhood (including the good and reasonable restaurant just down the way and a nearby wine shop), showed us around and generally helped us find our 'groove'. Rania provided some of the necessities (i.e. coffee, salt, pepper) making us comfortable without having to purchase items immediately. The terrasse views were breathtaking, as were all views from the windows. In short, it was magical. If ever I'm in Athens again that's where I'd stay. LOVED IT!!!
