Hello,
We had a really nice few days at Maria's apartment in Athens. Communication with Maria was always pleasant and mails were answered promptly. When we arrived, Maria kindly offered to give us a tour of the neighbourhood to show us where everything is. The street out the front isn't very pretty, but you only spend about 30 seconds in it when coming and going, so it's not a problem.
The apartment itself is just like in the pictures, with everything well maintained and clean. A change is that there have been a couple of useful additions to the furniture, and the plants in the courtyard have grown, which make it even better. I had caught a cold before arriving, so we spent more time at 'home' than we normally would, so I was especially appreciative of a comfortable place to rest and recover.
The location is brilliant and all the historic sites are easily reachable on foot. Authentic Greek restaurants and a really nice bakery are within about 1 minute from the front door. There would be parking in the same street a few metres away, but we didn't have a car so don't know anything about it. Despite being central, Maria's apartment was very quiet, and the courtyard is a wonderful oasis of peace in lively Athens.
We would certainly stay there again, and can happily recommend it to others.
See you,
Robert, Nils and Robin
