Rita has several apartments in a block in the Spanish Quarter which is very contested with narrow streets and lots of stairways.
Not recommended for travellers with mobility issues or large suitcases. Get VERY clear directions from the host and be aware that Via is not a road but actually a stairway. If using the fenicular, turn right onto the main road and walk about 400m round the bend. The sign for Via San Francesco is on the left and can be easily missed. There is a gap in the wall and a stairway leading down to an iron gate. This is the first of 4 gates and doors to go through to get to the apartments, so make sure you arrange a meeting time with the host. The area is full of life and noise but the apartments are well sound- proofed and nicely appointed. Rita and her husband are very accommodating and provide a continental breakfast.
They only speak Greek so communication is via a translation app on their phone.
Good value for money and a quiet haven in the heart of a vibrant part of the city.
