Maria’s place is PERFECTLY located in the center of things. It is clean, lovely, and the balcony is so so nice after a day of touring, or for coffee in the morning. The apartment has several floors up but there’s an elevator and it’s quiet except for some noise from a nearby bar that is open late. For us, just added to the sense of Athens, But if you are a very light sleeper and like to go to bed early you might consider that. We decided to just go join the people in the bar and enjoy ourselves and it was great! A perfect place. I will try to stay there again when I’m next in Athens.
