Thelma and her husband were GREAT hosts!! I cannot say enough positive things about the two of them. They went above and beyond. During my stay in Athens there was a strike so public transportation to and from the airport was non existent. When I arrived, I went as far as I could on the metro (which was still far from the place) and they picked me up. The apartment is absolutely impecable, decorated beautifully, the pictures do not do it justice. You are given a key and if you need anything Thelma lives in the apartment right next door. The place is located about 5-7 minutes from the underground metro and had it been in service I am told it would have only taken 15 minutes to reach city center, which is not w/in walking distance. They were nice enough to take me to the center both days of my stay as well as take me to the airport last minute when my scheduled taxi drive did not show up! Thelma also brought me some homemade cake on my last night, it was DELICIOUS!! The only negative I have is that the hot water in the shower does not stay hot for very long and the walls are very thin. I would without hesitation book w/ Thelma again.
