Dishonesty & Disrepair
This Airbnb is cheap and for good reason.
The toilet did not work, a problem the Homm management team were already made aware of by the previous guest (the negative review she left saying she could only stay one night because of the problem was curiously removed/hidden.)
Because of this, the unbearable stench made having a shower impossible. I informed Homm and was contacted by various individuals working for Homm, who acknowledged the issue but did not attempt to resolve it, promised a refund they did not deliver, and left me with a truly humiliating experience as I could not use the toilet or shower during a heatwave.
The team promised a refund they did not deliver and instead immediately ceased all communication, apart from an automatic message regarding check out. When I asked for a refund, they ignored my request and proceeded to review me.
Furthermore, the building does not have a lift/elevator which is a huge problem considering the studio is on the sixth floor. This is not communicated anywhere on the listing.
The area itself is not particularly pleasant, in a sketchy, rundown neighbourhood of decaying apartment buildings.
Staying here honestly felt like a cruel joke, a humiliating and undeserved punishment. There are better Airbnbs in neighbourhoods just 10 minutes down the road.
Please avoid if you want to have a good time in Athens.
