The host:
Like everyone else said, the host (Miltos) was amazing. He was warm, personable, welcoming, and took the time to make sure we had the best trip possible. I would say our experience of Athens wouldn't have been as great as it was without having him as a host. He picked me up at the airport at midnight, took me on a driving tour of the neighborhood and showed me the major sites/attractions, then spent at least an hour with me showing me the apartment, walking me to the nearest metro station, and going over a list of attractions, restaurants, and experiences I could have during my stay. I would say he ended up spending about 3 hours with me, from the time he picked me up to the time he left the apartment. Midnight until 3am! He also responded to my questions throughout our trip and continued to give us advice. By far, Miltos exceeded my hopes of what a host should be. And by far, he has been the best host I've ever had while using AirBnb.

The listing:
Perfect! The apt. is brand new, as is everything in it. It was spotless, had everything we needed to be comfortable over the course of our four day stay. Wifi worked, air conditioning was great, 2 nice bathrooms, spacious living room and bedroom. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

The neighborhood:
What wasn't clear to me initially when booking was how ideal the location was. We are actually a 5-min. walk away from most of the major attractions ( Acropolis, Acropolis museum, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Arch of Hadrian). I really couldn't believe how much I lucked out. You could actually spend several days within this area touring the city without having to take the metro. If venturing away from the Acropolis area, the metro is approx. a 5 min. walk away. The neighborhood is very clean, probably the most beautiful in Athens. As a woman, I felt safe walking around night and day alone.
