There are many wonderful qualities of the property: location, spaciousness, historical architecture and more. It was probably the cleanest AIrBNB I’ve stayed in. You have everything you need to cook in the kitchen, there’s a washer, and we liked the arrangement of the rooms with a center hall and separate doors going into the different rooms. The location is excellent. You can walk everywhere or if you need to take the subway, it’s very close. It’s a fantastic value as well. Also, for being in the center of Athens, it’s extremely quiet. The only thing you hear are the birds!
If I was giving this review between September and May, it would be five stars. There is no air conditioning. When I lived in Greece many years ago, we didn’t have air conditioning, and we didn’t need it. However, the world has changed. We were unable to enjoy the house because we were drenched in sweat the entire time we were there. It was hard to sleep. Our sheets were drenched. We kept the windows and shutters closed the entire time, and along with keeping the fans on, it didn’t help much. I think anything over 85F degrees is tough without air in Athens. We were there in late June/early July during a heat wave, and it was barely tolerable. And, that’s coming from someone who lives in Phoenix where we normally have 110F and above in the summer and is acclimated to very hot weather.
