I've stayed in 15 Airbnb rentals all over the world and Regina's apartment in the Kolonaki neighborhood in Athens is simply among the best. She's designed the place with an architect's eye and paid great attention to every detail of the physical space. Design aficionados, like me, will definitely appreciate it. Key features I noted and appreciated were a full laundry center, with actual dryer (uncommon in Europe), a fully functioning kitchen, mini split AC units in prime areas, two full bathrooms with high end finishes, hardwood floors, carefully-selected vintage modern decor, wrap-around floor to ceiling drapes with hidden LED lighting, and comfortable beds. Simple, unfussy bedding and linens complete the soothing interior. However, there are a few things potential guests should know in advance. First, Regina is a rule-follower, and she will make you sign a contract that is separate and apart from the contract which is created within the Airbnb platform. She says this is required by Greek law, which it very well may be. However, I have stayed in other Airbnb's in Greece over the years and this was not required. Perhaps the others weren't following the law. In any event, you'll be required to sign a lengthy contract, including your passport number, and fax it back to her, in Switzerland. Some may find this off-putting. Second, potential guests should know that the apartment is located in a building at the top of a hill, adjacent to Mt. Lycabettus, in Kolonaki. This neighborhood is supposedly the most affluent in Athens, but more about that later. Those who are mobility challenged may find it difficult to climb the hill, and may need to utilize taxis or Ubers to journey to and fro in Athens. This writer will note that Athens - even the reputed affluent areas like Kolonaki - bears a somewhat downtrodden appearance. Perhaps this is a result of the financial crisis in Greece. Graffiti is found in abundance almost everywhere in central Athens, and the streets and public spaces are rather grimy. Decades of mismanagement has left the government with no funds for upkeep of public infrastructure, one supposes. It's a pity. Finally, guests should know that upon check-in, after a very thorough orientation to the apartment by Regina's representative, they will be presented with two copies of a full-page printed itemization of every conceivable object within the apartment which is not bolted to the floor. Guests are expected to sign these documents, supposedly with the understanding that if any of the items listed thereon are "gone missing" after the guest's departure, she or he is responsible for it. This guest was not only surprised by this exercise, but also somewhat amused. I don't know about Greek law, but in the United States (I am a lawyer) this would likely be considered an adhesion contract, which is unenforceable. Setting aside the legal details (no advance notice that such a contract would be required; no time for guest to verify the existence of each item on the...
