We had a good stay at Stefanos place!
The first thing I noticed is that he was very thorough in messaging me. He gave me all the options to get to the Airbnb from the airport including the costs. Check in was fairly easy as it was a self check in using a key. The only thing is - I’m not sure if I missed this, but we didn’t actually know which room/floor the Airbnb belonged to in the complex. We just walked around and up until we found the doormat that matched the picture Stefano had sent us. It was on the second floor btw. Again I’m not sure if this was my mistake, I did double check the info though. It wasn’t an issue though as it was easy to locate.
The room itself was spacious enough for two people although the pictures from the listing made me think the space was a bit bigger. All the necessary amenities were there, a large fridge, a coffee maker, full kitchen etc, although we never used the kitchen to cook. There’s no beverages in the fridge but there’s a grocery store literally across the street with affordable prices which made it SUPER convenient ! We really enjoyed that.
Location wise- it’s a bit out of the main area but it is a very quiet neighbourhood. You can easily reach it from syntagma station by bus, and it’s about a 20 min walk from the main area (monstiraki, acropolis). We opted to walk the distance everyday which we enjoyed but you can always take the bus as well!
What I really appreciate is that Stefano always replied quickly and he helped me a lot to find - for example he found the best way to get to the ferry in the early morning. I also felt that I could ask him for anything and he would get back to me promptly and with the answer I needed.
I do think the bathroom could use a bit of improvement, for example the drain kind of has a musky smell, the shower doors are a bit awkward and would pop out, and there was no conditioner (for the girls you need to buy or bring your own!) But there is a laundry machine that worked very well, and a large drying rack to dry your laundry! I think there was detergent but we couldnt decipher which was what so we used our own. Lastly (I know I’m a bit picky) the bed is quite soft, which made it a bit uncomfortable for my back but my boyfriend had no issues!
Overall I think because of stefanos kindness and responsiveness, regardless of the little things I would most definitely recommend his place. Also for the price it was quite reasonable! Thanks for the stay!
