Maria is a wonderful host. Her place is exactly as described - very close to the metro and the acropolis, which was our main reason for staying a couple of nights in Athens on the way to the islands. There is a grocery store, bakery and couple of local bars and restaurants around the corner, which we visited several times.

Wish we had even more time to enjoy the large kitchen and beautiful garden space that Maria's place has.

Even though Maria was out of town, she had a friend meet us at her place and tell us about the neighborhood. She was lovely even though it took us longer to arrive than we expected. Maria checked on us several times before and during our stay and sent perfect directions and a map to ensure we could find the place from the metro. Would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Athens.
