It was a very long trip from san Diego. We were tired and hungry - until we stepped off the elevator onto your balcony and saw the view. THE VIEW OF ATHENS revived us. And the beauty wasn't just outside. In the apartment we were treated to the talents of design and decorative abilities. Aemilia and Maria welcomed us. We don't steal towels or ashtrays from hotels but if I could I'd take this studio apartment, the view, and this warm family back home in my suitcase! By the way they speak great English.
