After excellent communication, Rima and her husband greeted us warmly and quickly oriented us to the apartment. It was comfortably appointed, with updated kitchen and bath, and wonderful AC in both bedrooms as well as the living room. We took advantage of the washer, kitchen, and ample drawer and dresser space to unpack clothes. We also appreciated the nearby bakeries and markets. The short walk to the metro turned out to be an incredible convenience. Previously we stayed in 2 apartments technically closer (20' walk) to the acropolis, but the walks were hot and with 2 young kids in tow these commutes used up energy early in the day. Although geographically farther from the center, we found the metro to be easy, safe and clean, and using the same wits I'd used on a New York subway, had no problems navigating to sites of interest with our 8 and 10 year old. We found we had more energy to site see by using the metro from Rima's place than by walking from nearer places. We are grateful to Rima for a terrific experience, and would stay here again in a heartbeat. This is an ideal location for families traveling with younger kids.
