We booked this apartment for our short holiday in Athens. We arrived at the apartment at the time of check in and we noticed that the apartment was just cleaned as the floors and an ashtray were still wet. However, that’s fine as this is a good sign that the apartment is clean. But, surprisingly the apartment had a very strong cigarette smoke smell, when we reported that to the host, she replied that it’s clearly indicated in description that smoking is allowed inside the flat and that should have been expected. It seems that the host is not the landlord but an employee of a company managing many airbnb apartments, so hospitality and consideration was not really felt.
The cigarette smell was very disturbing and we have never seen an Airbnb apartment allowing smoking inside the rooms especially when the flat has a big and nice balcony. We cancelled our stay and booked a new place nearby instead.
Besides the cigarette smell, apartment was nicely renovated and in a great location.
