Staying at Andreas’ apartment was one fo the best AirB&B experience I’ve had. He was so welcoming, he made Athens that much more personal. The apartment was thoughtfully and well appointed. From the stylish furnitures to the organic Greek bath products. When we chatted with Andreas on our last day, he mentioned that he tries to provide for his guests the amenities he would want when he travels (with the exception of room service). The apartment was in a local residential area (i.e., away from tourists) but was still conveniently close to the Acropolis Museum. We got to see the Acropolis lit up under the evening sky every night as we walked back to the apartment. Andreas was responsive to messages, even late in the evening. He took pride in the hospitality that he provided to his guests and cared deeply that his guests enjoyed Athens. The check-in was a breeze. Andreas’ friend Dmitri greeted us as Andreas was away that day. Dmitri met us at the street intersection to make sure we didn’t miss the street, and helped us with our luggages. He went through the effort to turn on the lights in the apartment rooms and the courtyard so that the place looked warm and inviting. Dmitri gave us a tour of the apartment, instructions to the appliances in the house, a brief orientation of Athens with a map, and recommendations for sights and restaurants. The apartment was even better than it looked in the pictures. There was so much to see and do in Athens that we didn’t even get a chance to take advantage of the hot tub in the beautiful courtyard. The kitchen was very well stocked. Andreas even left cold water, juice, milk, yogurt, and an assortment of beverages in the refrigerator. We didn’t use the kitchen to cook, as there were lots of great food in Athens, but the cupboards contained olive oil, spices, and seasonings. It even had pasta and tomato sauce. The kitchen was functional with great tools and appliances. We could have easily made gourmet meals in that kitchen. The mattresses in the two bedrooms were very comfortable and we slept very well. I can’t even remember if we heard noises from the streets. The bathrooms were spacious and modern. The hairdryer in the master bathroom was a good quality one that dried hair quickly. On our last day, we had a couple of hours between check-out and catching our flight to the Greek Islands. Andreas gladly allowed us to store our luggages in the cabinets right outside the door. He not only offered to take us to the airport that evening, he even took us around Piraeus, around downtown to see the changing of the guards at the parliament, and dropped us off at the National Archaeology Museum. He went above and beyond to make sure that his guests enjoyed their stay, and had a great time in his city. I’ve never met a host that puts so much...
