My family of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location was fantastic, and the apartment was cute, spotless, and spacious. When people walking by stop to take pictures, you know you've picked a great place to stay! The upstairs balcony really added a lot of value. It was a great place relax in the mornings and evenings over some fresh fruit and items from one of the many nearby bakeries. Maria was a wonderful hostess - friendly, very responsive to questions, and a joy to meet. We also met her father, and felt like our brief times with them really enriched our visit to Athens. The only real negative was that there is some street noise at night - rowdy people walking past now and then at night or the occasional scooter that is roaring by. This was more of a problem staying downstairs, but otherwise we found the beds comfortable and enjoyed everything else about our stay. We would definitely recommend Maria's place to anyone visiting Athens. If we are ever able to visit again, ourselves, we will certainly see if her place is available.
