We stayed at Maria's place in Athens and loved it! Maria was very responsive to messages which was great as we were later than expected arriving but she still ensured there was someone there to meet us and get us settled in. As our trip went on we realized how great a location we were in. We could walk to all of the major attractions (never used a subway) and it was close to a delicious Gelato place (La Greche) we went to 3 times. We also appreciated the balcony and quiet ac. Would definitely recommend staying with Maria on your trip to Athens.
