One word: A-MA-ZING!
It was my first experience with AirBnB and Chris made it unforgettable. The contact with Chris was very nice, fast replies, correct information etc. . This resulted in me not worrying about finding the place or having to find out for myself how I should get there.
Next, when I arrived at the appartement, a nice letter from Chris welcomed me with information about the appartement, the surroundings and tips for visiting.
Also, there were a lot of amenities for me to use: bottles of water in the fridge (next to tasty cookies), slippers, soap, towels, Wi-Fi code, hair dryer (yes ladies, he has a hair dryer!) ...
The appartement itself was also very clean and well decorated (not too much, just really nice so that is felt a bit like a home away from home). Because the appartement is situated lower than the street, it is also very cool inside. This was nice for me as it was very hot outside (+30 degrees). There was also a cooler/airconditioning, which I only used for like 1 hour a day to cool the appartement a bit more.
The location of the appartement was perfect for me: it's only a short walk away from the city centre and if you don't want to walk, you can take a cab for a few euros. I'm not the kind of person to visit a lot of the tourist things, so I also went the other way. There were nice shops, great bars and restaurants, a pharmacy (which luckily I didn't need), and well-maintained parks to enjoy the Greek atmosphere.
Conclusion: if you travel to Athens and you want a well-maintained, clean and cool appartement with all the things you need very close by, stay at Chris' place! I hope to return someday to spend some more time in Athens and the surroundings, and if I do, I'll be looking out for Chris' place to rent during my stay!
