Marianna is a very sweet and interesting person. Upon my arrival, she took the time to sit down and give me precious advice on cultural spots in Athens. She was always available and even though I didn't see her after that first encounter, she's totally someone I'd like to hang with. Her apartment is well located in a safe area with charming streets filled with restaurants. I appreciated it was quiet and I could work there every morning. The decoration is very pretty and tasteful as well. The only downside is it's located on the ground floor and there's little light coming in (but that shouldn't be a problem for most travelers as they generally are away for the whole day). The mattress was a little hard for me but I have a sensitive back so again, that shouldn't be a problem for most people. Globally, I'd warmly recommend staying at Marianna's!
