We had not even had time to arrive at the apartment, before we felt welcome. Maria met us as we were walking from the metro! She is an amazingly welcoming person, showing us the apartment, the neighbourhood, and even recommending a fabulous (inexpensive) restaurant - the archetype of the perfect host. She was constantly (and almost immediately) available via email to answer the slightest question and thanks to her we had the absolute best tour of Athens (food tour!). The apartment is perfect for those who want to discover Athens on foot as it is within easy walking distance of just about everything. AND it is very close to the metro! It is very well-furbished, convenient, and practical - great for relaxing after a long day. I highly recommend it.
