Though the host is very prompt in responding to messages and the apartments is reasonably clean, it is in a very rough area with druggies, rough sleepers are police all around it. The building in which it is located is pretty old. The check-in is self check in with no clear directions to the apartment door. The apartment had no essential necessities nor was any effort made on the part of the host to make our stay more liveable. There are building works going on in the neighbouring flat and in the neighbouring building so it all felt like being on a building site rather than someone liveable host.
I think, the Airbnb concept of providing a homely environment in a functional house has been misunderstood by the host and the subject facility is being run like a commercial venture for profit making. I think the host and Airbnb should reconsider if offering these kind of accommodations are fair to guests or not. In my view they certainly are not and i would rather now prefer a fully serviced hotel than ending up in a facility like this on the Airbnb platform in Athens.
