Dina's Airbnb profile promised that all of our desires would be satisfied at her place. When I walked through the door, I could feel that coming true! The charm and kitsch of the decor, the restaurant recommendations, the thoughtful books on the shelves, the balcony - it charmed me immediately! There was even a pastel blue and pink towel in the bathroom that seemed tailor-made for the pastel blue and pink and green tile on the wall! We came in (chilly) spring, so the central heating at night and in the morning was welcome and kept us toasty. The bathtub was an unexpected surprise, but we had to scrub it out a bit before use. Sun comes through the front windows exactly when you would hope: in the afternoon. I used her guide to Greek Mythology book throughout my entire stay, and it was informative and helpful. There is a gorgeous, lively, and affordable cafe/bar across the street that became our go-to place. Acropolis views + proximity are a definite plus. However, there was one desire that was not quite met at her place: the comfort of our sleep. The mattresses are VERY old, and the springs and bars are prominent in your back. Extra padding required! The frame of the double bed is also quite creaky, and the single-pane windows in the front room do not dim nighttime noises so well, so light sleepers should bring their earplugs. (I was fine in the front room, but my friend could not get a wink of sleep because of cars/buses passing in the night.)
Overall, Dina was a responsive and responsible host though, and the vibe of her place definitely met and exceeded my desires and expectations!
