The apartment has some pros and cons.
PRO: location is very central, being close walking to Plaka, the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, shopping and so on. We didn’t use the bus or Metro. The space is large, with room for 3 and I saw a folding bed in the closet too. Lots of storage space.
CON: 1. the bathroom is very small, which would be manageable if it was organized better. There are no hooks for clothes/towels, nowhere to put the toilet roll except on the tiny counter next to the sink. It’s a wet bathroom which means the shower spray covers most of the floor and toilet. The tiles are dark brown which makes the bathroom very dark. It could use better lighting.
2. We would have appreciated some information about the various appliances and how to use these. There was a gas stove and oven which didn’t work for us but we didn’t let Georgia know as the induction stove worked. Which is why it would have helped to have tips and suggestions to the space, like a welcome package and how to use everything. And since this was a self check in it would have been nice to have a bit more information about the location, what’s around, etc. I suppose I’m comparing to the last Airbnb we were in which provided lots of information about the apartment.
3. Kitchen lighting is dim, one bulb burned out.
4. AC didn’t work initially but Georgia managed to find out it was a fuse issue, simple solution, however I wonder if checking to see that everything works before someone moves in, is something which should be done.
5. Bed is very hard, which may be a normal here. Pillows not comfortable.
This review is meant to give people a chance to decide what’s important for them: location or space. If location is most important then this is perfect. If the comfort of the space and usability is important then this may not be it. But perhaps with some improvements it could be.
