Maria’s place is a great base for visiting Athens and, as each day passed (we stayed six days), we realised its strengths! It was clean, quiet, reasonably priced, so centrally located in a very safe, calm, quiet part of Athens - Kolonaki – and you can walk everywhere from there. If you do want to travel on public transport, the metro and bus stops are just five minutes away. Maria was a really good host - always contactable for whatever we needed and so amenable and flexible – for example, allowing us to leave our luggage there later than the checkout time. We had a really great visit and would recommend Maria’s place as somewhere well worth staying!
