Our first experience with Airbnb and what a good one it was! Ralou was the perfect host (sadly we were unable to meet her as she was called away on business but she phoned and e-mailed several times to ensure everything was perfect). Nothing was too much trouble for her. She always replied very promptly indeed.

It is always the little touches that make a difference - fresh cookies on arrival, drinks in the fridge and a poem on the bed. Everything was spot on and as described. The flat was bigger than we expected and the little courtyard was a lovely spot to eat breakfast or enjoy a drink in the evening. The flat was spotlessly clean and tidy and beds really comfy.

The really key point for the flat is it's location. You simply could not get a better place to base yourself to see the sights. Just around the corner from the Acropolis Museum, Acropolis and Plaka. We felt so safe wandering around the neighbourhood and there are some lovely local restaurants very close by. Ralou has lots of recommendations to help. We particularly loved the "Little Tree" book/coffee shop around the corner in the evening and the bakery across from the flat had goodies that were simply divine!

Definitely ask Ralou to order the taxis to and from the airport for you. We did and our taxi was waiting for us at the airport and came nice and early for us on our return with no hassle to try to find one.

What a great time we had exploring Athens and this experience was certainly defined by choosing Ralou's apartment and we would thoroughly recommend anyone to Take a Walk on the Acropolis Side!
