We really enjoyed our stay in Athens. The place was clean and well decorated. We had a well equipped kitchen. It had also great air conditioning for hot summer days in Athens. The apartment was in a peaceful area though it was centered located. We had a great access to everything (locals, shops and sightseeing points).
We never met or had any contacts with Maria (the person who rented the place) during our stay. A friend of her named Christina welcomed us in the first day. We rented the place from 9th of August till 11th. Since our flight was on 11th at 10:00 pm. We asked Christina to talk to the owner (Maria) if it would be ok that we leave at 19:00 (obviously when there is no guest arriving after us). We asked two times and she told us that it is ok and there is no guest after us. On our last day, we were at a museum at 15:00 when she sent us a whatsapp message asking us to leave at 16:00! Because somebody just sent a request and they had to clean the apartment . We had to cancel our plans and head back to the place. It was lots of pressure and too much of stress for us. It took us sending tens of long text messages to convince her that we can not leave at 16:00 in such an impossible, short notice! Then she agreed on 18:00 and we unfortunately had a very stressful leaving.
