This was our very first Airbnb experience and I was nervous to try it as a family. Our experience was amazing and we will do this again while traveling the world.
Hosts provided many options to arrive from the train station and to depart for the airport. We appreciated their assistance reserving a taxi for our early morning departure flight.
Checkin was prompt and detailed. We appreciated the local eating and tourist options. We tried several restaurants and were happy with them. We loved the lambchop place close by so much we went again on our last night.
The kitchen and washroom were well stocked for our needs. The laundry machine and supplies were a perk! After many long hot days it was fantastic to be able to wash clothes and hang them to dry on the patio drying line.
Thissio district was perfect walking access to all the tourist locations we were interested in visiting and to the metro for access to Mt. Lycabettus and Voula beach. We enjoyed the neighbourhood vibe as it was not overly full of a high volume of tourists. It was a lovely quiet local location. Perfect for sleeping at the end of a long busy day of sightseeing!
We were cognisant that we were living among neighbours and tried to limit our impact on them by being respectful of quiet times.
Our favourite local stop was Thissio Bakery in the morning and sometimes again at the end of the day! The staff there were super friendly and the selection of items changed daily. Coffee was excellent.
The supermarket down from Thissio Bakery had everything we needed. We took away a huge bag of assorted Greek candy as gifts for our friends. Wine and beer selection was excellent. Lots of fresh meat, cheese and vegetables.
We did our best to leave the apartment as clean as we found it.
Thanks again for your hospitality.
