Ralou is the kindest and most gracious host. She had everything thought out carefully so no glitches ( even directions how to use the tv) Her flat is quiet, lovely and very comfortable AND it is near all the places you want to see in Athens. The first night there I walked up to the acropolis and listened to a full rehearsal of Madame Butterfly while looking up at the lit acropolis. The area is safe and has everything you need, even the best bakery across the street.
