Things started off a bit rough, Shower drain was clogged, fixed in a few hours... Was messaged a few times about no paper in the toilet, not something I'm accustomed to at all but evidently common in the old city section of Athens. There was no coffee pods for the special coffee maker, not an electric kettle to make any coffee after arriving tired. The owner agreed to reimburse me for an electric kettle I went out and bought, so I could make tea or coffee. That was nice. There is no microwave, so it's a bit difficult to reheat food or cook something quickly, the kitchen also needs cooking utensils like a spatula to make eggs or something in a frypan. There wasn't any dish soap to wash dishes by hand, but a couple days later, he brought that as well. Also, I expected the apartment to be quieter but city life isn't so quiet, motorcycles, some strange music that never seemed to end... Keep in mind they close the gate at like 9pm and not sure what time it opens in the morning, so ordering food for delivery, I had to go down to open the gate to get my food deliveries. (During corona, so no restaurants were open, that's why cooking was even more important)
Wifi wasn't so great, normally it was only 3 bars, which made video calls with family quite frustrating.
On the other hand, the owner was extremely helpful and communicative.
The apartment is a nice size, very clean, stylish and comfortable. The location really couldn't get any better.
The bed and pillows are super comfy!!! I always have a hard time finding a comfortable bed, and never sleep the first night in a new bed. But this bed and pillow were awesome, every night was a great night sleep! The towels are thick and soft, very comforting! There was netflix on the TV which helped a ton!!! The couch, I wanted to take home with me, loved it and very comfy!! The owner also gave me a late check out to accommodate my late flight.
The patio is quite boring as it over looks the other side of the street, but if you move the chairs to the other side and in the front corner, It's lovely to drink coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, looking over the city and the acropolis.
Everything worked out in the end and it was a very nice stay.
