Kleio is the role model that all AirBnb hosts should strive to be. First off, Kleio was quick to send us a message welcoming us and asking what time we'd be arriving. She was attentive to our rapidly changing travel plans and was flexible with all our changes. She arranged for a car to pick us up at the airport, which was perfect after a long international flight. The small extra cost was well worth it to avoid the hassle of public transit when you're tired and groggy.
Second, the apartment is incredible. You can tell from the moment you arrive that it is in excellent condition. The sidewalk outside is literally built of sparkling marble. The interior is exactly as pictured: warm and inviting. The appliances, furniture, and finishes are all top quality and made for a comfortable stay. We instantly felt relaxed and at home.
When we got to the apartment, Kleio showed us everything we needed to know about the space and gave us some great recommendations on how to best enjoy our few short days in Athens. My favorite were all of her restaurant recommendations, especially the local spots in the neighborhoods a little further away from the touristy areas.
Each morning, Kleio sent us a text asking if there was anything we needed for the day. She knows the perfect balance between making herself readily available to her guests, but also respecting their privacy. On our last day, she again arranged a car for us to the airport. We were so disappointed we had to leave Athens!
In 5+ years, this is by far the best AirBnb experience I've had and well worth shifting your trip to Athens by a few days if it means being able to stay with Kleio.
