I contacted Maria before I rented the apartment, asking about a microwave and coffee maker, which I didn't see in any of the photographs or listed among the amenities. She promptly answered, promising to provide both. Maria continued to be prompt in her replies throughout my stay; she is a great hostess. The apartment itself is very comfortable and stylish, with a beautiful view. It has a couple of drawbacks. The bathroom is quite small, even by European standards; but it is functional. And it can get very hot in the apartment during the day, especially if you lock the place up while you are gone for the day in mid-summer (July-August), as I did. Fortunately, if there is a wind or even a breeze in the evening it is easy enough to air the place out by opening doors and windows (a large fan or two would assist in the process). Otherwise, it is a charming place to stay, in a superb location. The kitchen is large and very nice; the washer, though small, works well; and the bedroom is comfortable and not as small as it appears in the photographs. If I return to Athens I will definitely look first to see if Maria's charming home is available. Thanks you for everything, Maria!
