The apartment was just as described and very close to everything that one would want to see in Athens. The neighborhood was very fun and there was a market near by, a fun bar, an excellent bakery, and a great place to get takeout from. Rio was very good at communicating and was available to answer any questions I had. He and his wife made some very good food recommendations. A word of caution, the stairs to the loft are steep but its pretty fun.
