We loved staying at Maria's place! It is in a very residential area and is about a 15 minute walk from the Parthenon and Acropolis. The apartment was very clean and was exactly what we needed. We loved having Danilo, their friend in the building, take us to and from the airport. It made it so easy on us. Danilo was extremely friendly and helpful. He was happy to show us around the apartment and showed us on a map where we should go in Athens. He lives right across the hallway, which was handy when we couldn't figure out how to work the key. There is also a cute bakery right across the street that was very good for breakfast. It was a little farther than we wanted from the Parthenon, but overall I would recommend Maria's place! Very friendly/kind people, great transportation from the airport, and a clean place.
