Maria's place was exactly what we were hoping for. Our visit was a little unusual, because we were in town for an appointment rather than the usual tourism focus, but it was perfect for our needs. It is SO easy to get to her place from the airport but also is still very convenient for getting into central Athens quickly. Living somewhere that is both accessible from the airport and easily accessible to Syntagma is a huge asset.
Maria was very helpful and always quick to communicate when I had any questions. Her mother, who helped us check in, went far above and beyond to make us comfortable. The apartment is on the second floor, but the stairs never felt like a burden. We had a great stay, and hopefully you will too!
