Anna was a great host, providing us with everything needed for a lovely and positive stay. There were a few missing kitchen items that we are used to having to cook at home and she quickly went out and bought new ones for us. The washing machine was not working properly and she immediately had a technician come to take a look at it and fix it. When we asked for some clean linens, she had her house cleaner come by personally to change bed sheets and provide new towels. She provided good information about restaurants and activities that we could do in the area as well. We have found that having helpful host like Anna makes all the difference in an AirBnB stay!
The location is amazing! The entrance to the building is on a pedestrian street that has loads of great restaurants (plus so many more in the surrounding streets). The metro is a very short walk away, as is a small supermarket that provided us with all we needed for basic food options. We walked everywhere and most importantly as a family, the area felt safe day or night. What an amazing feeling to step out the door and gaze up at the Acropolis within a short walk up the street. The Acropolis Museum is also just across the street and we’d recommend going there as well. We spent 9 days in Athens and didn’t need to take any form of public transport once.
The apartment itself is easy to access, there is an elevator to get luggage up and down, but we’d just go up the one easy flight of stairs day to day. There is a large dining room and living room, and a great patio that gets nice morning sunshine where you can enjoy a coffee or a meal together. The beds were firm but comfortable, and our kids enjoyed having two separate twin beds instead of having to share one! The bathroom and kitchen are small compared to what we are used to but provided what we needed for our stay. Wifi is reliable and we used it to watch Netflix on our laptop as there are not a lot of options for English speakers on the TV :-) The building is older and there are a few minor improvements that could be done such as to fix some peeling paint, but they are superficial repairs and didn’t impact our stay one bit.
