Our stay at Maria’s place really helped make the 3 days we had in Athens much more worth it. This was mostly due to the location, great tips on what to see, super helpful hosts, and the apartment itself with that awesome view!

Communication between the hosts was very quick and clear, they let us know of any last minute changes, answered any questions I had about the apartment and area prior to arriving and even offered many different options from the airport to their apartment.

Although we never got a chance to meet Maria, as she was busy the afternoon we came in she was still very helpful via WhatsApp and through the chat on Airbnb. So instead of Maria, her husband George met us as the apartment for check in. George also communicated very well, and he was quite thoughtful and helpful before and during our arrival! When our group had a longer line than expected at the airport George messaged me and asked if we needed any further help getting to the apartment and offered help as well. Unfortunately I didn’t see the message until we had arrived, and he had still very patiently waited over an hour past our expected arrival. Once we arrived late George was still very friendly and professional. He still took the time to show us around the apartment, answer any questions we had, and point out on both a provided map and from the lovely balcony where we should go and what we may have time for. Both Maria and George had provided a nice list of popular attractions, and were very knowledgeable about areas that were more popular with local residents.

The apartment itself was amazing, both in proximity to attractions and physical appearance! It was very clean, nicely furnished and decorated. There with large well equipped kitchen for cooking, comfortable living area to relax, great balcony and two large bedrooms with their own connected balcony. Both the kitchen and living room had amazing views!
It was also well within walking distance of many great attractions. It was also a few blocks away from a busier street where one can easily catch a taxi to a different part of the city or coast. Another benefit to being a few blocks away from the busy streets was it was quiet and felt like a residential neighborhood. Yet, there was also plenty of places nearby such as a nice café, small market, and a couple of great bakeries.

Overall everything about this listing helped to make our trip to Athens better feel very comfortable, help hit a lot of attractions, and made for a great excuse to sit on the balcony for a bit before starting a busy day! I would definitely stay here again.
