Maria was a fabulous host even before we arrived to Athens! She was readily available via email to answer any and all of my questions while planning our trip.

Even though we never met Maria in person, upon arrival she was helpful in arranging our check-in and we met her friend, Yannis, at the apartment to get settled. Yannis was great in recommending places near us to eat and explore and even went over a map in detail to show us how to get around the city. The apartment was exactly as pictured and we were pleasantly surprised to find some welcome treats from Maria as well. There is a small view of the Acropolis from the terrace in the distance between two buildings. Despite the lack of a view, we still thoroughly enjoyed the terrace and watching the activity below.

The location of the apartment was perfect. In a great central location, we were easily able to walk to all of the historic sites in Athens and were close to numerous eateries and shopping. There is a street directly below the apartment that has both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, but we didn't find it disruptive to our evenings or sleep.

From the outside the building doesn’t look like much and is hidden within a retail setting but the building has an elevator and a secure entrance which is locked at night for added security! We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Athens. Maria was a great host and was available each day to ensure our stay was perfect.
