It is a quiet apartment in an old house on Marasli Street in Kolonaki. The bedroom windows face into an inner courtyard, which makes it very quiet. The bathroom and kitchen face into another, more narrow, fire escape well. The bathroom and kitchen are quite small and typical for old Athenian houses. Wifi worked well, there is a desk in the bedroom, so it can be a nice study room. The location is the best feature of the place. It is right around the corner from Patriarchou Ioakim street, with restaurants, bars, cafes, boutiques, leading to the Kolonaki square. Just a flight of steps at the corner of Marasli takes to Spefsippou street where there are two mini-markerts, which is convenient, and where farmer's market comes every Friday. Also, on the same street, taverna Filippou is an old traditional taverna - not to be missed. Also, a great restaurant in the neighbourhood is Oikeio. Marina's place is a convenient base for exploring Athens and also/especially if you are a student or researcher coming to ASCSA or BSA.
