I can't believe how beautiful the apartment was. It is even nicer than the pictures. We traveled for a month and this was the nicest place we stayed in. The bedroom is large and air conditioned and has a small but nice patio off of it. The kitchen is modern and light and airy. The bathroom is as nice as any 5 star hotel. The towels were thick and soft, not the usual kind found in rentals. The living room/dining area is large and has 2 sets of large windows that can open to the street as well as air conditioned. The internet was fast and there was a dvd player as well as some dvds and books. The area is literally just steps from the metro. There is a small store across the street for fruit/drinks/bread etc and just up 1/2 a block are numerous restaurants including a place that sells souvlaki and gyros for a great price.(2.1 and 2.3 euros). Just down the street one way is the Temple of Zues, another way is the Plaka shopping area, Acropolis, Museum, etc. The location is perfect. Close to everything yet quiet enough to enjoy. But the best part was how nice Maggie was. She couldn't be there to meet us, but the cleaning lady was, and we talked to her on the phone. She offered us directions and any help we needed. She had left a few things in the fridge for us such as fresh peaches, a bottle of water, juice boxes, bread, jam, cheese, etc. As well as offered us to use anything in the cupboard including coffee, pasta, etc. Such a nice treat after a day of traveling. As well she had left shampoo, soap, transit maps, a personal guide offering her suggestions of where to go and what to do. I only wish I had more than 2 days to enjoy her beautiful place and her generous hospitality. I will plan my next trip to Athens around when I can stay at her place. Thanks again.
