Despina is a very friendly individual with a wonderful and warm family. Communication was great, the apartment was clean and it is located close to downtown Athens and the Siggrou-Fix subway station. There are also quite a few small eateries located by the apartment (Ta Filarakia shish kebab is great - 70 Ipparchou Street) also there's a bakery (Arto-Zymia - at the corner at T. Vrasthenis & Sostratou Street) where you can purchase morning coffee and a snack.
Writing anything negative about the apartment is quite difficult as Despina is a lovely individual, but it wouldn't feel right if I did not add my honest review. I was quite disappointed when I arrived at the apartment as there was no air conditioning in the unit (only two area fans), I addressed this with Despina via the Airbnb email function, where Despina mentioned that it was noted in the listing that air conditioning consisted of just the two fans (I was not able to find this in the listing). The temperature during my stay was in the high 30s and the interior of the apartment felt like a furnace. Leaving the shutters open overnight was impossible as 1) The apartment is located on the 1st floor and I did not think this was safe (plus it was noisy) 2) There were no screens on the windows & balcony door, so it would be very easy for insects to fly in. One of the main reasons why I selected the apartment was because air conditioning was listed as an amenity. I had a very full schedule and could not "reject" the apartment upon arrival as a last minute change would've interfered with my plans for the first two days of my stay.
I do recommend the apartment for cooler months and for travelers who are looking for an economical, no frills experience.
I wish Despina and her family all the best, they were absolutely lovely.
