Dora was exceptional. We felt like we had found our Greek Aunt to keep us safe and happy. She greeted us early and showed us around. Later she sat with us and explained the neighborhood, where to go, and what might interest us. She provided us with maps and showed us how to use the Metro.
She made us a special pie with jam she had made herself and left eggs in the refrigerator.
The apartment is in a great location to explore. The Victoria Square Metro station is only four or so blocks away and is a major stop so it is easy to get anywhere you want to go.
The apartment is not ultra modern but is roomy with lots of beds and WIFI and television and a sit-in kitchen and two bathrooms. Follow the instructions and you have plenty of hot water for showers or a bath. The refrigerator is large and there are plenty of cupboards and closets to store things in.
Athens, like any major city, is crowded, noisy, and often dirty so it was wonderful to have Dora a phone call away and the flat as a safe haven. We felt comfortable in the neighborhood as Dora told us where not to go. She even arranged for a friend with a taxi to pick us up at 5:20 am and take us to the airport for our trip home. The taxi price with very reasonable for four people with cases and he was there on the dot. I was very impressed.
This apartment is an exceptional value but Dora is the treasure.
