Mariza was a fantastic host! I booked the place rather last second and Mariza was great at communicating quickly to let me know how to get to the apartment.
The apartment itself is very spacious, open, and has a lovely breeze with an open balcony to enjoy the view over coffee or Ouzo. Mariza was quick to offer me lunch and help get me settled in. She even showed me how to use her washing machine and let me borrow her soap!
Overall I was looking for a quieter experience because I was on a work-vacation. So Mariza gave me my space unless I needed something—and in that case she was very quick to help.
The neighborhood is really incredible. Great nightlife, not touristy nightlife, but great local nightlife. While I was there I made some new greek friends and was able to see some traditional dancing nearby, enjoy a Greek drink (ouzo: watch out for that hangover) and even use the gym two blocks away for the week (15 euros).
The cafes around the block are perfect for getting a few hours of work in and they all offer delicious meals + fast wifi.
It took me about 15 minutes to get to most of the touristy sights and neighborhoods. Even less time to get to some of the museums and a hill top view.
If you are the type of traveler who is looking for a local experience at a fantastic price (it really can't be beat) then you should definitely stay here for a few nights.
