Maria was an incredible host. She immediate greeted me on my arrival and offered to let me drop off my luggage a day in advanced while i traveled to a different city for 1 night. When I returned she had the place not only spotless but also filled with fruit and a bottle of wine complementary. She was very courteous never barging in without asking us even if its to refill the towels etc. and even knocking on the door when we've needed her on several occasions to *cough* help me with opening the washing machine door *cough* (it really wasn't that hard... I just don't have Maria's executive touch. Everything was on point. Even her washing-machine-door-opening skills. On our last day I had sent her an email asking if I could borrow her phone to set up a taxi to the port. She responded kindly with: "What time would you like to leave? I will handle everything." That she did. She took really good care of us. Apart from this gracious host, I don't think you can go wrong with the apartment or location either... both top notch. Location: a 5 minute walk from the Thissiou train station - quick transportation to the airport and surrounding stations. Along your walk is a pathway that's been remodeled for walking. Turn right from Maria's road will lead you to the acropolis. Turn left and it'll take you to the train stations, markets, Monastriaki square, and restaurants/night life. We walked everywhere just because everything was so close. My feet hate me. The apartment... oh that beautiful apartment. You have to mention that roof-top view of the acropolis. Private. Equip with a canopy, candle, table and chairs. What a great find. Highly recommend. Wonderful, highly capable, and kind host to boot. Just book this place already and stop reading this.
