My stay at Magda's place is one of the highlights of my trip to Greece. The country becomes all the more beautiful because of kind, hospitable and friendly locals like Magda. She has patiently answered all my queries before I arrived at Athens and when I did I felt the warmth and genuineness the first time I saw her. She was so energetic but so nice and sincere. It was like being welcomed home by your best friend - - and that is despite of me being late (because I didn't catch the 2:00 train from the airport). And just like how best friends go the extra mile, Magda did that for me: from lending me her pointy thing for the phone sim case to allowing me to leave my luggage withher as I go to Santorini. More thana host, Magda was my guardian angel in Athens. She is the best.
Let's talk about the place. The unit itself is worth the visit to Athens. My journey from the other side of the world was worth it because of the viewsfrom the super large balcony. You got to see it to believe it. Imagine having to sleep to the sightof Acropolis - - literally! It's magical. The unit itself is so clean! You have everything you need to live a luxurious life. I also like that it's so quiet. I am a light sleeper and I am sensitive to sounds but at Magda's place I slept like a baby! No thin walls and no loud footsteps at the ceiling! Just pure relaxation. It's also so nice thatthere is a 24 hour open bakery literally across the street. Thebreads are tastyand perfect for the coffee, butter and jams of Magda - - which by the way she has so many of that you can have as many as you want. The place is also 5minutes walk from Sygrou Fix train station and 10 minutes strait line walk to Acropolis. Everything is just so near!
Overall I wish I could give Magda 1000 stars because she really deserve it. Her red hair is as unique and beautiful as her apartment and her heart. Don't hesitate to book her place when in Athens. You will not regret it.
