We’re a family of four who rented Maria’s place in early August of this year (2019). Both the hospitality and the apartment were outstanding. Maria communicated with us well before our arrival date. Among other things, she gave us travel options from Athens airport to the apartment, including the prices of each option. We chose to take a van, and Maria arranged for the van to pick us up (a good option, by the way, for families traveling from the airport into Athens. It’s about the same price as the Metro or a cab, but much easier). Our flight was late arriving to the airport, I emailed Maria, and she let the van company know we’d be late.
The apartment is great. First, the views are incredible. The balcony provides a view of the Acropolis and Mount Lycabettus. It has a full-size table and is a nice place to hang out, particularly in the mornings and evening.
Second, the apartment itself is well appointed and roomy. The kitchen has all the essentials, plus two coffee pots, including a Nespresso machine. Attached to the kitchen is the living room, which is spacious and comfortable. Both bedrooms are nice, well decorated and have good closet space. The bathroom is likewise roomy and nice.
The location is fantastic. The neighborhood has a full super market, plus some smaller markets and a number of bakeries. The Sygrou-Fix Metro stop is less than a 10-minute walk, and the Acropolis is under 15 minutes on foot. It’s a great, central location. We rented a car one day to drive out of the city and were able to find street parking when we returned to the apartment. I highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Athens.
