The apartment was easily reached from the airport via the convenient and affordable metro. Once we arrived, Ria and Jason had prepared a warm welcome with chocolates, grapes from Ria's own garden and some breakfast essentials for the coming morning. The apartment was every bit as charming as in the pictures. As a bonus, there was a relatively small but tasteful selection of music and an outstanding collection of literature in Greek and German, including works by Kant and even a 1920's edition of Nietzsche's "Also Sprach Zarathustra". The neighborhood is lovely, with bakeries, supermarkets, cafés and a nice Cretan restaurant within a few minutes of walking. Since we travelled with our two-year-old baby, Ria and Jason were kind enough to provide a baby crib and even brought toys for him to play with. There's a playground nearby and the apartment has an elevator, making it very suitable for children. We highly recommend anyone going to Athens to stay at Ria and Jason's.
