Marily was a perfect host for an amazing apartment. Prompt and good communication - nothing went wrong, but my feeling is that Marily would quickly have helped if it did.
The apartment has a fun and crazy colour scheme, unlike all the boring ikea-like airbnbs elsewhere. It is certainly not enormous, but all you need is packed in to it. The nice balcony gave and extra feeling of space with an actual view of the Parthenon.
The lift worked fine, and while the entrance seemed sketchy from Streetview, we felt perfectly safe here.
The area is busy, with good food options all around. The local bakery was excellent, there’s a market nearby for fresh fruit and astonishing olives, and there are more restaurants than you’ll need. This is a real city, not gentrified or sanitised - we walked through a “nice” area and wouldn’t want to stay there. This has life, interesting shops, real people. It was a little noisy at night, but quietened down soon enough.
Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay - host, apartment, location all absolutely perfect!
