Rio's studio apartment is a lovely space! First and foremost, the location is fantastic, situated in a charming residential area (although there are still plenty of restaurants/cafes/bakeries around) and only a short walk to every major sight in Athens. The apartment itself is very cozy and clean, and we appreciated the provided coffee, tea, guidebooks, and DVDs.

The one drawback I would mention is that the shower is a wet shower (no shower curtain or separate space from the toilet), meaning that every time one of us showered, we got the entire bathroom soaked, and had to squeegee off everything, including the walls and the toilet. It made showering a bit of a production, but wasn't a huge obstacle. Just be aware that this is the situation!

Although we didn't get to meet Rio, his wife was lovely, and we were happy to briefly meet her! Rio got back to all messages quickly and recommended a nice taxi service for English speakers that can be booked online.

We would definitely recommend Rio's apartment to anyone looking for a centrally located place to stay in Athens!
