This is the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. After a long hot day in the Athen’s sun, it felt so great to come ‘home’ to an air conditioned, spacious space, filled with light, high ceilings, beautiful furniture, and more. The neighborhood is perfect, very upscale, but not snotty, you can walk to everything within 15 minutes or easily take a taxi, and I always felt perfectly safe.
Marietta and husband were AMAZING hosts, checking on our comfort occasionally during the week, showing us all the details of their meticulously restored apartment. It felt like a palace, with high ceilings and period furniture, and their pride in their space was evident. At one point, my partner got sick and needed a health clinic, and she was able to suggest a place. Also, all of Marietta’s restaurant picks in the neighborhood were spot on, especially Barbouraki, the fish place, and Da Capo, the Italian cafe that was a great people watching place - not touristy at all.
They have a meticulously designed house book that explained in great detail how to use the appliances, which is helpful if you have limited experience with European washer/dryers.
They provided wonderful welcome snacks and wine. And they supplied us with wonderful toiletries from Korres. I don’t think I’ve had such amazing welcome kits in any hotel.
In short, a perfect Airbnb experience. Thank you Marietta! Efharisto!
