I have used Airbnb quite a few times & in several countries & have had wonderful experiences, but I would have to say this was our very best experience overall. Our hosts went above & beyond to make our first experience in Athens as smooth as possible. They arranged transfers to and from the airport, even when we were staying at a different location! Communication was immediate and thorough with times and cost.
The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated with high ceilings, ornate crown molding, wallpaper, flooring, & antiques; thoughtful & tasteful touches everywhere. Beds & bedding were comfortable, plumbing and heating worked well, check in and out was seamless.
Although, originally I thought we would want to stay in the Plaka, this location I preferred because the area was less crowded, a bit more upscale, and still very walkable with much to see along the way.
We would definitely stay here again!
