Maria and George's apartment is as stunning as it looks in the photos - as is that Parthenon view. A stunning backdrop for a breakfast coffee or nightcap on the balcony. Our extremely late checkin wasn't a problem for them. Indeed, after giving us the overview of the apartment George was kind enough to drop us over to Monastiriki and recommend a restaurant. The Acropolis is 15 minutes on foot and everything else in Athens old town is walkable. The only time we resorted to a taxi was the day we had climbed up to the Parthenon and our pedometers were over 20,000 steps . Even then a taxi from the Roman Agora to the apartment was only 8 euros. Because of our late arrival Maria and George had laid on some essentials - water, soft drinks and a lovely red for us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Maria and George's apartment and will use it again ourselves if back in Athens. David, Mary, Christopher and Andrew
