I booked this place last minute and appreciated Ioannis’ quick check-in instructions, however, that was the only positive.
Once I arrived, I noticed the bedding and mattress were rather worn down and not comfortable at all to sleep in. The mattress was squeaky and pillows were very cheap and thin.
The apartment is titled “luxury” but the furnishing and overall interior, including bathroom is the furthest thing from luxury. It has tacky decorations, such as a fruits bowl consisting of fake, plastic fruits, and a smelly bathroom.
The spare blanket was also unclean, so I didn’t see the high-quality that is implied by the listing. The location is in an affluent neighbourhood, but that is the only redeeming quality.
Biggest issue was the wifi, there is NO functional wifi in this apartment. I notified Ioannis but he made 0 attempt to resolve or troubleshoot the issue. I couldn’t go out to eat when I stayed here so I wanted to order take-out. Because of the lack of wifi, I was forced to go outside of the apartment, which was highly inconvenient. When I requested a partial refund, as I am entitled to, under Airbnb’s refund policy due to missing amenity, Ioannis seemed confused and told me this was ‘irrational’, with no apology for the inconvenience caused.
I don’t think Ioannis understands what it means to be a good host as he doesn’t know how to communicate properly and refuses to acknowledge issues in an appropriate manner. I have given my low rating due to the many inaccuracies of this listing, which includes the lack of wifi and cheap quality furniture.
I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone as you can get much better amenities (TV, Wifi, comfortable bed) and a much more pleasant host elsewhere in Athens. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! It is not worth the price or the time spent dealing with an unresponsive host.
