The apartment is comfortable enough. The location near the metro, Acropolis and several restaurants and cafes is good. The neighborhood isn’t the safest, so keep that in mind. We only stayed for one night so this wasn’t a huge worry for my family.
The cons were the nuisances. The check-in process was a lot more convoluted than necessary (in my opinion and experience having booked dozens of Airbnbs). I was asked to send several messages along the way, detailing how and when I’d arrive (which I did as requested, despite the inconvenience of having next to no connectivity while off wifi - which I told the host when she requested this Marco Polo style of communication). Despite sending every message I was asked to send, many of the messages went unread and the apartment still wasn’t ready on arrival. This forced us to wait longer in the hot streets of Athens before we could get into the home for a much needed shower and some rest. As something of an excuse as to why the apartment wasn’t ready as expected, I was told that calling in the morning/before arrival would have been better. Again: severely limited connectivity, which I mentioned more than once, made a call impossible. For such a short stay, there were way too many bumps to get in and be in the apartment. It was all a lot.
Lastly, the apartment has no modern conveniences, i.e. the television channels are all in Greek with no Netflix, and the hot water is iffy, at best. Again, for one night, this was annoying. For a longer stay, this would all have been quite ridiculous.
The intention of the host seems good, but I doubt I would stay at this apartment again (or recommend it to anyone else), even for such a short stay.
