I have appreciated the knowledge and experience of other AirBNB owners, who want to help connect you with transportation to and from the airport/major attractions, things to do, tips on local food, etc. to help you enjoy your stay. That was not the case with this rental. They gave very clear information about the check-in process, but little else.
The apartment was tidy, but did not have the feeling of being sanitized. When we ran out of toilet paper and garbage bags, which happened quickly as there are only two tiny garbage cans in the apartment, we looked for more, but the cleaning solution area looked really gross and smelled moldy.
The area surrounding the front door of the building smelled terrible. Every day we were there, there was a strong urine odor. Waiting for taxis in that area was really gross.
The location made it fairly easy to access the main points of attraction for the city (e.g. Acropolis, Plaka Neighborhood, etc.), but required a taxi ride.
All Greek taxis currently only take 3 people, so we had to order 3 taxis for our party of 8. We needed a taxi to get back and forth, as Monistiraki, Plaka, Ancient Agora and other points of interest, so it added up pretty quickly.
All in all, this rental served it’s purposes and gave us a safe place to learn more about Athens; however, definitely not what I was hoping for.
