we had an amazing time at Maria's place. we got to the apartment and her husband Rio greeted us. He provided us with all the info we needed. He also walked with me around the area to tell me where everything is. Maria's place is big, covenient and confortable. we had a beautiful courtyard and a nice big kitchen. Shower and bathroom were very convenient as well. Best part is the location. we were a short walking distance from all of the major attractions as well as the funnest areas of Athens such as Plaka, Psirri, and Monastiraki. you can practically walk to any of the ancient sights, really nice restaurants near by as well as bakeries and grovery store. would definitely stay a Maria's place again next time I go to Athens! highly recommended!
