We could not be more happy with Maria's apartment. Everything offered and described in her post is accurate, and as other reviewers have stated, it was a pleasure to stay here. The communications with Stella were great. She kept in touch before, and during our five days in Athens, along with advice for local restaurants, timing to visit attractions during the day, and help with the laundry. Instructions on machine were in Greek. We met at the apartment with Stella along with her mom and friend soon after arrival, and got a great overview of the apartment and local area.
The apartment was outstandingly clean, and as described quiet.
Even though it overlooks a busy street, once the double doors are closed, there were no noise problems. Bed was great, and we slept late several days. The location was outstanding with quick access walking, to the Parthenon, and museum along with the Plaka neighborhood. Plus, we also ate and walked through the Pangrati neighborhood for groceries, which kept you out of the tourist traffic.
I would certainly stay here again, and would suggest the same to any of my family or friends. Thanks
