Ira’s apartment was super comfortable, large, spacious and very pleasant all around. There was just the right amount of furniture and pleasant decor and beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed here in terms of amenities, and even a nice little desk for working on the laptop. The place was clean, except for the dishes, which are left up to the previous renters to clean, which I don’t think is such a great idea. One also has to be careful not to leave anything out because of ants. The apartment is very well organized and full of little notes and signs on how to do things and what to do. The main bathroom has a bit of a drain smell, which we had to keep the window open for and door closed, but it’s nothing we couldn’t deal with, and the water pressure in the shower was amazing! Especially nice was the second toilet in the apartment, which is great when you have four people in one apartment. There was a bit of a miscommunication at the end as we asked to stay longer and even though we had agreed to extend the stay, by the time I got to the platform to extend the place was booked under our nose without our being informed. Although very friendly and nice and helpful on the phone, I felt the host experience was a bit on the impersonal side as she never really focused in on her guests (starting with you never meet in person), which may work okay for some but it didn’t feel so much like a real Airbnb experience. I expect this can happen when you have properties managed by busy property managers with many properties in their hands and not the owner of a home. You can’t have everything! To end on a good note, however, I do have to say the place is great value and one of the most pleasant places to stay in Athens. I would book it again!
