This was our first Airbnb experience outside our home country and we were delighted. Rita and George are friendly and gregarious hosts and George came down to meet us at the Panormou metro station close by (a five minute walk away) to show us up to the apartment.
We went there directly from the airport so it couldn't have been easier to get to, though we do recommend that you set aside up to an hour if you are planning to get to the airport from the apartment on the metro. You really do need to be at Athens airport at least 2 hours before your plane departs, regardless of whether its an internal flight or not.
The apartment is on the top floor of a 5 storey building (with elevator) with a magnificent roof garden that had great views of the city. The apartment was big and modern with excellent facilities and a lovely atmosphere. Sitting out on the roof garden in the evenings was a treat. It can comfortably sleep six people (there were only two of us) so it is ideal for a family or 2-3 couples. There are three restaurants within a 1 minute walk of the building and a well stocked supermarket about 150 metres up the road. The proximity to the metro makes getting around Athens very easy (only four stations from the centre of Athens) and the Athens metro is very easy to navigate and cheap to use.
We really couldn't fault the apartment (even the Wifi worked brilliantly!). Our only regret was not spending more time there and we highly recommend this listing to anyone interested in staying in Athens.
