Rich's place is a gem. He earned his 5 stars before we even got to the apartment with all the helpful directions and tips about traveling from the airport to the apartment. The apartment is just as described and even better in my opinion. The neighborhood is really convenient and safe. We were visiting with our two children ages 8,10 and felt very comfortable walking to and from the metro. The apartment is an easy 10-20 min walk to the major tourist neighborhoods. We really enjoyed our time in Athens and Rich's apartment was a big factor in our comfort and enjoyment. Not to mention how wonderful Rich is with his communication and willingness to answer questions and hand out tourist information. Thank you Rich!!
