Maria is a wonderful host. The communication went smoothly although she wasn’t in Athens during our stay. She was happy to accommodate our late check-in time and coordinated with her friends to let us in. The house is located in a very cute and quiet area in the Petralona neighborhood. It is a short walk from a mini market, many great restaurants (includ. our favorite’s Oikonomou), and Zephyros, an artsy outdoor cinema. There is plenty of street parking on the nearby street if you bring a car. The house is very close to all the major attractions and within walking distance to the bustling nightlife scene in Gazi and great cafes in Kerameikos. We feel the area is safe to walk around even very late at night. There is a TV and are many books in the house to keep you busy as well. As the house is full of beautiful plants, you might consider bringing a bug spray if you want to sit out in their lovely patio as there can be lots of mosquitoes in August.
