Maria (Aemilia's mom) was an amazing host. She was accommodating in our request for an earlier check-in for my girlfriend before my flight landed. She picked me up at the airport and dropped us off after our stay ended. She made delicious vegetarian food for us on our first night when she learned I am vegetarian. She had great suggestions on places to visit, not just in Athens but at other points in our itinerary. Finally, she went over and beyond expectations when my girlfriend needed some measurement tools and we could not find one in the area. She found a store and brought us the exact thing needed.

The apartment is great, with an awesome view of the Acropolis but Maria's generosity is what makes this stay truly shine out.
