There were some problems with the apartment - things broken, the balcony awning ripped to shreds in recent winds and not replaced. Since I have very fair skin and burn quickly this left me unable to sit out after 9 a.m. I have pointed these things out to Aris. They did completely change the feel of my stay. The flat itself is basically fine, but these things need to be sorted out.
Communication was a problem - check in dogged by mobile problems on both sides, but messages from Aris were still arriving truncated a week later.
Finally, and my fault, I should have checked out the location better. One previous review hinted at the type of neighbourhood - I decided that one on its own should be ignored. I was wrong! The neighbourhood is definitely not suitable for a single woman. I felt uncomfortable every time I walked to the Metro, and mostly didn't go out alone in the evening.
All that said, I had a wonderful week in Athens but in spite of, rather than because of the accommodation.
