I spent a couple of days on my own in Athens but felt incredibly safe, happy and at home in Maria’s apartment. The flat is ideally located for seeing all the sights - I walked everywhere during my stay and the Acropolis is a very short walk away. Despite that, the flat is tucked away on a quiet street, so you really have the best of both worlds with the location. Having been recently renovated, it’s a comfortable, stylish studio space ideal for one or two. And Maria couldn’t have been more accommodating - quick to respond to messages, waiting in the apartment for me despite my late arrival and even providing fresh fruits and some of her home-made marmalade (very delicious!) for breakfast. I’ll definitely be recommending a stay here to friends visiting Athens in the future!
