Maria is an amazing hostess. She welcomes you personally and provides
unexpected treats like fresh cheese, chocolate and uozo! How can that be
bad?

The apartment in ambelokipi, Athens is easy to find, and a few blocks
from the Metro. The neighborhood is fairly quiet at night, certainly
less noisy than the Plaka area.

While transportation is easy to find, the Metro went on strike while we
were there. It was a blessing in disguise as you can walk for to
Syntagma and we saw many sights on our way we otherwise might have
missed. We did get a cab from there to Piraeus to then reach Poros for a
day by ferry.

Really enjoyed that hammock and eating on the porch of the apartment.
The flat is older but clean, and does not have the clash of colors which
makes one think that some people are still living in the disco era. It
is calming, and well-equipped. There is even a small elevator to take
you to the fourth floor.

The Greek people are going through some trying times right now. But we were the recipients of many acts of individual kindness. And it all
began with our host Maria. The price is right and the atmosphere
perfect. We will be back.
