It was our first trip to Greece and and it turned to be very comfortable thanks to Massimiliano.
Our communication with Massimiliano was very reliable starting our planning the trip and through the whole stay period. We had a detailed instructions via email in advance with pictures, step by step of how to get to the apartment from an airport, recommendations of local attraction sites, restaurants and transportation. We rented a car at the airport, and even without GPS it took us about 40 min to get to apartment. We picked up a map by a post office at the exit of terminal. There is no cell phone store in the airport, so if you have such plan, you can get a local SIM card in the city only.
When we arrived we were given a key by a lady who lives in the same building. A check-in was very easy.
The location is perfect. Away from busy streets and very close to the most important sites. We never used a car while in Athens. Walked every where. There was no problem with parking on the street close to the building.
The building is located on very quiet and green street lined up with orange trees emitting a wonderful aroma (it was blooming season) and decorated naturally by flowers and huge oranges. We could not resist to pick a few oranges. They are extremely juicy, flavorful, sweet/sour and a little bitter. It was great to add to vodka, tea or regular orange juice.
The apartment itself exactly as described. Newly renovated, with top of the line appliances, dishes and utensils. Personally I was especially impressed by sharp kitchen knifes (very unusual for a rental place). Very clean. We had made a couple of suggestions about some small appliances, which were not crucial for us but would be a great convenience for others who drinks coffee and eats bread, and Massimiliano agreed to get it for the apartment. There are nice music CDs. The shower is overkill :)) with 4 massage heads. I think a regular shower head would be just enough. There is no WiFi, but it is available if you ask in advance for a reasonable fee.
We had a lot of questions the first day of stay, and Massimiliano was responding very quickly.
If we ever in Athens again, we will definitely stay at Massimiliano's.
