Maria’s spot was wonderful. Her communication beforehand was super clear and helpful. She gave us really detailed instructions on how to get the key, the wifi and everything we’d need to know about the apartment. The one thing we struggled to figure out was how to get hot water. We got in at like 1am so the self check in was a blessing. I wanted to shower off the airplane feeling but it took me 5 mins of feeling cold water to realize we probably had to click a switch. I found it (there was a sticker so that was really helpful) but it honestly didn’t get warm and I waited for probably a half hour. I’m not sure if that just takes a while to heat up but I will say that my husband ended up taking a shower in the middle of the night and he said it was nice and hot — again, maybe it just needed a bit to warm up. After that, no hot water issues.
The location is perfect. Super quick 15 min walk from the Acropolis and surrounding stores and restaurants. Cute cafe 2 mins down the street for breakfast. Maria left bottle water, juice and snacks for us as well as slippers, toothbrushes and toothpaste and other little toiletries.
The apartment is very spacious and really beautiful. AC was strong and cool which we really appreciated! Only other small thing was on the terrace there were some cockroaches but it’s a city and there’s nothing you can really do about that. NONE in the apartment though. Only outside.
Overall I’d highly recommend this location for a couple days spent in Athens. Maria was a wonderful host and we loved the accommodation.
