Maria's apartment was clean, well-described and in a brilliant location. We chose it because of the balcony and that was great - looking out over a 'real' Athenian neighbourhood and nicely shaded. I was a little worried that the bars at street level might be noisy but being up on the fourth floor and because of good double glazing it was lovely and quiet at night. It was fantastic to be able to leave our luggage ina safe place on our last day too, as we were flying out in the evening (thanks to Maria's dad for helping with that!). Highly recommended.
