We arrived in Athens by plane and took the metro from the airport to the stop closest to Ageliki's apartment, a 3-minute walk away. The day was hot and humid and we were sweaty and tired. Ageliki met us in the lobby, helped us fill the elevator with our suitcases and welcomed us into her clean, sweet, and air-conditioned apartment with glasses of cold juice and a bowl of chilled watermelon chunks. We felt as if we were greeted by an angel.

The apartment has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, and a fully-equipped kitchen right next to the living room. There is air conditioning in the livingroom/kitchen and in the larger bedroom. The location is close to the metro, and within walking distance are restaurants, cafes, and stores. The apartment itself is on a quiet block.

One of the best meals we had in Greece was our first lunch at a cafe frequented by locals, just a block and a half away. The cafe owner brought us a Greek salad with the sweetest tomatoes, saganaki cheese and a soft spicy cheese, bread, cooked greens flavored with fruity olive oil and lemon, and bottle of ice-cold water - all this for only 10 euros.

And Ageliki left food in her refrigerator for us: the huge bowl with watermelon chunks; a tub of Greek yogurt; vegetables; and a delicious homemade cake.

Because Athens was so hot, getting back to the apartment was a pleasure. And the day we left, Ageliki came over to say good-bye, and she brought grapes and peaches for us, which, unfortunately, we couldn't eat because we had just eaten a huge lunch.

Ageliki is a caring and lovely hostess. The apartment was perfect for us. If I get back to Athens in the future, I hope that the apartment will be available. Because Athens is such a hectic city, staying in Ageliki's apartment is restful. I'd recommend this Sweet Apartment Near Panormou Metro to everyone.
