We had a wonderful time staying at Mariana and her daughter, Irina's place in the beautiful Plaka area of Athens. The apartment is the absolute perfect place from which to explore the very best of Athens. Upon booking, Mariana provided detailed instructions on the various transportation methods to get to the apartment, and made sure she was outside waiting for us upon our arrival. Check in was simple, and Mariana was extremely warm and friendly, and provided us with maps and suggestions for dining and sightseeing. The bedroom was incredibly comfortable to sleep in. Plenty of clean blankets, cold air conditioning, and darkening shutters. We accidentally slept until noon our first night, as we forgot to set an alarm and the bed was so comfortable....we had no idea it was so late in the day when we first woke up.;) When we return to Athens in the future, we will definitely stay here again. It's such a beautiful and safe part of the city, and the apartment is extremely clean. Overall we highly recommend Mariana&Irina's apartment for your stay in Athens:) Thank you, Mariana!!
