the accomodation and location were at described. considering the warmer temperatures, the ventilation and air conditioning were good but only available in the lounge and master bedroom. the other room (where my friends were staying experienced ventilation issues but it wasn't a big deal). the place is near shops and everything you need.
the only issues we faced were with the hot water system. it was not working for us. even with no one in the apartment for most of the day, hot water system had issues generating enough water in the morning. there were 4 of us. with the first one to use only getting 5-10 mins of hot water. no one used the hot water during the evenings as we arrived back late and went to sleep. it doesnt make sense but steven said its solar powered, he even tried to inspect it himself on the first morning we were there. so he did try to accomodate.
the other issue would be baggage storage. as i already outlined months before our booking, the fact we were checking out later in the afternoon (even offered to book another day just to store our luggage) but was offered the reassurance our bags could be in the apartment and stored safely. as their was no previous indication that the building was owned by Steven, we returned back to see our luggage dumped outside the door. so you can see our initial alarm and disgust at this (as due to previous experiences in a chicago airbnb, our stuff was stolen from within our rooms) it would of been nice to have known all details. maybe lost in translation.
apart from these issues, steven was hospitable and responsive. allowing us to check in very late in the night and even organising a taxi to come pick us up from athens airport. overall it was a good experience. i wouldnt say as expected but each experience is different. probably a more specific details and outline of info would of prevented this. thanks steven
