Maria’s place is, in my opinion, the perfect place to stay in Athens.
The location is wonderful and Plaka is small, intimate and beautiful so you feel you have a community and base within what us a big city. You can walk everywhere from here and we did not use public transport at all.
You feel special when you walk in through the door and people from the street look at you as if to say , ‘Wow , how lucky to stay there’!
The house feels like home and we particularly loved the artwork filling every space with colour and it was amazing. The piano plays so nicely and we brought music to play with us . The patio upstairs is fantastic as it gets the sun in the mornings and you can have breakfast up there and plan your day whilst looking out on the street below and hearing the sounds of the people walking past . It is not noisy at night or particularly in the day. It feels nice.
There is a wonderful restaurant two doors away.
Maria was so kind and helpful in communicating with us and very welcoming. Her father met us at the house and is a wonderful and warm man who showed us all around. He lives nearby if any concerns and chatted to us when we saw him locally.
We felt the luckiest family in Athens to stay here.
Thank you Maria.
