So my boyfriend and I traveled To Athens to have dental implant surgery (for myself. ) I knew I had to be there a month. I decided to book one place for the first part of the trip and then another place for the last two weeks. The first place in Kolonaki was GREAT . FRESH, modern in a great location! ( see my review!!) The actual surgery was not booked coming in to Athens as we had A few other things to do before hand… Once we finish those things in the first week then he scheduled the surgery… It just happened that it was also going to be on the day that we were supposed to be moving into Tegea’s place. It wasn’t ideal but it was the way it was. The self check in was the highlight . It was the ONLY thing without a problem. We got in ok no problems. And that’s where the “ good” ended. I was on meds and needed to stay still, icing my face for a couple days doctors Orders..The place did not smell clean. Parts did not look clean. As soon as I layed on the couch to ice my face I felt something on my arms and there were two ants crawling on me. We located many on the floor and coming in behind in behind uncaulked back of kitchen sink. So it was gross . But along with having to run right out to the closest store and buy toilet paper we just picked up some bug spray… Wasn’t happy but it wasn’t the end of the world. Once we each took Showers we noticed mold… Very easily cleaned with some bleach cleaner… Which next trip to the store we purchased. And to me one of the worse things was the towels and bedding. The towels ( one for each of us) were HARD AND CRUNCHY. And the bedding smelled unwashed and like “ dirty head” it was really bad. Even though I was not completely well on the second day we walked down to Ermou st and Went to H&M home and purchased a new duvet with pillowcases and a flat sheet.. by night of day two we realized we couldn’t stay . Noticing 1/2 The lightbulbs in the house were either missing or not working… Plaster was peeling and a light fixture in the hallway was hanging by a wire ( boyfriend is an electrical engineer and said this was dangerous!) THIS PLACE IS NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM REMODELED!! It looks like maybe the bathroom was done probably within five years ago but that is it. The patio that is played up so much in the description had an old card table /2 chairs with a plastic tablecloth… And nothing else. And the WiFi was dial up. Worked off and on. Never a good connection. It wasn’t just one thing it was the combination of many things… And although I told them about the ants and they offered to come over and take care of the problem… It was just I knew that we could solve that problem on our own just as well as them so I declined… I had just had surgery and was exhausted and I wasn’t in the mood to have a bunch of people around trying to fix a problem that they probably couldn’t fix anymore than we could… As far as the other things go at that point I didn’t trust them anymore. Anyone who Rents out a place that is OK maybe to the eye but very much UNCLEAN. The pillows after I took their pillow cases off. Were HEAVILY STAINED. ( when I sent them pictures of the pillows they basically tried to say they weren’t their pillows. Or that these were pillows I BROUGHT? I’m not sure exactly what they were trying to say. But they were not taking responsibility!! We both figured with the money that they get from renting and just one trip to IKEA… Less than €200 for some new bedding… Towels… Toilet paper… lightbulbs ..A couple of lounge chairs for outside… Caulk for behind the sink to keep the ants out. Paying someone TO ACTUALLY CLEAN. We are so lucky that we are in a position in life to quickly find another place a few blocks away. (A DECENT place in HIGH season That was available for another two weeks… ) And we were able to leave after our third night… Once we got moved to our new place I let them know that we had left and the reasons why.Of course it all was denied… I don’t like how I was treated.AND WHY Would we want to pay hundreds more dollars in the middle of our trip… Have to pack everything up and move everything again?? WHY WOULD WE DO THAT?? The case was finally settled with Airbnb yesterday and I won my case with pictures and receipts. I HOPE these hosts realize that there is something for everybody… Not a big deal if they want to leave that place “as is“ there’s always going to be people that will rent it no matter what… But you better bring that price down to $25… The place we rented before and the place we rented after were in similar area ( Well in Kolonaki anyways) .And Of similar price and we had absolutely no problems with either one of those! Only the best things to say about those 2 flats!! The cleanliness… And professionalism of the hosts!! And as long as I’ve come this far... although this does say KOLONAKI It is way on the end of KOLONAKI. Not the best part to be honest with you… Just going four or five or six blocks in the other direction towards square and you’re into a really really nice area. It WAS a 6 minute walk to ERMOU street. So that was a plus. I really hope this keeps someone from making...
