Host was very responsive, which is about the only positive thing I can say about our stay here. The area felt unsafe at night (and I'm an athletic 30 year old male) which meant we had to uber everywhere.
The kitchen lacked essential items for cooking, and to the hosts' credit, he did make an effort to provide some things like tea towels and a kettle, however there were many other things missing, such as a spatula, etc. The freezer was inaccessible due to the way the kitchen has been installed. The entire place was furnished with IKEA's cheapest items, and poorly assembled, so when you sat on the bench stools they swayed from side to side and the seat would slide off when you got up. The big TV is sort of pointless because the two arm chairs kill your back after 20 minutes, so we just used our laptop in bed. The airconditioning unit has no drainage point so the balcony (which looks so big in the pictures) floods after a couple of hours.
All in all, this was a disappointing stay, and it resembled everything that AirBnB accommodation is shifting towards. Away from home owners renting their place out while they're away on holiday to properties moguls buying, gutting and then furnishing apartments with cheap and crappy things as quickly and cheaply to make a quick dollar and a good profit margin.
So we not only felt disappointed with our stay, but we also felt guilty for supporting a business model that is creating a significant housing problems for so many Athenians. It's very very sad.
