We spent five days in Maria´s and Mario´s apartment, which fits one to one to the description and the pictures on the website. We've been absolutely enthusiastic about Maria´s hospitality and her kind and warmhearted manner (we didn’t meet Mario but we´re sure he´d be alike). Together with a friend Maria picked us up from metro station and brought us to the apartment by car.

She explained us everything we needed to know about our stay in the apartment plainly and showed us the flat.

In deed it´s a very cosy and comfortable, new furnished, tasteful apartment, with entirely refurbished bathroom and a snug balcony looking at the inner courtyard, where we used to take our breakfast.

The apartment is very well arranged- tableware, towels, extra pillowcases, some drugstore products and even some basic aliments for simple dishes, as well as greek coffee and breakfast tea were expecting us- this was far more than we were expecting.

Nearby you find several mini groceries and even a supermarket, which is quite handy.

Located in the living and artistic district of Exarcheia at the foot of Lykavitos mountain you have plenty of opportunities to go out at one of the numerous cafes, bars and taverns.

Moreover it´s quite near to the centre of Athens- we used to walk down to Omonoia Square, University Alley, Polytechnion etc. by foot (ca. 15 min.).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maria´s and Mario´s place, where we had the opportunity to dip into one of the most heterogenous, urban residential districts of Athens and to feel as part of the city, even though for only five days- at the end we somehow started to talk about the apartment as our home :).
