Maria & Makis’s apartment is in a great neighbourhood, only 10 min walk to the main city area of Plaka and with a cute courtyard at the back which has nice restaurants. Easy transport links to airport and Piraeus port through the closely located metro station.
The amenities in the apartment are great- iron, hairdryer, air con etc, and Maria provides lots of tips and guidebooks on the area. Check in and communication were prompt and smooth.
The bedroom is large and spacious, with lovely fresh sheets and a comfy bed, plus a small balcony off the bedroom.
Only downsides are the hot water- the building is an older, 60s style building and we struggled to get two consecutive warm showers out of the hot water once it was turned on. However we could have not been waiting enough time etc... for this reason I think the apartment would be best for a couple, not four people. Also the building lift is very small (apartment is on the 2nd floor) and we couldn’t figure out the lights in the communal access stairs, so we had to use torches on our phones to leave/enter the building, so probably not the best for families... However having said this, we enjoyed our stay in this quirky apartment.
