Maria's apartment scores high marks all around.
It is true to the photos though feels larger in real life (and it includes a much more comfortable sofa than the one pictured).
The apartment was super clean with excellent hot water pressure; the bathroom amenities that were a thoughtful touch.
It had excellent Wifi stable connection and super fast (100 Mbps download speed - yes, I tested it).
The two air conditioning units cooled the apartment nicely, appreciated as the days I visited were rather hot (35C+).
The balcony runs the length of the apartment and looks directly onto a large green tranquil city park.
The neighbours and neighbourhood are quiet. And the area is very safe.
There's a small supermarket meters away.
Nearby buses and cheap taxi's can take you to most sites within 5-10 minutes, max.
Check-in arrangements were easily made. Indeed, Maria's son, Spyros, was quick to reply to texts and was there to welcome me upon arrival. His charming manner and excellent English made me feel welcome and certain that if I had any need, I'd be able to rely on him and his family.
Check-out could not have been easier.
Highly recommended.
