We booked an apartment for a 1,5-month stay. From the beginning, there were a few things we were unsatisfied with. Take into consideration that we paid attention to other things that people who stay for one weekend only. The most important one was the extremely low Internet speed of 2-5 Mbps!! Before we booked this apartment we were told that the Internet speed is 50 Mbps! We both work remotely, so it was a crucial factor when deciding about the place to stay.
With 2-5 Mbps we were unable to work comfortably - having stable calls or uploading/downloading files with reasonable speed were very difficult. It took them 3 weeks to make this issue fixed (we had to ask Airbnb for help). They made us the private connection up to 13 Mbps - it was better, but still not what they promised. Apart from that we found out from the Internet guy that the maximum speed of the Internet in this area is 24 Mbps (and 50 Mbps is not possible!!!). What’s more, the apartment was different than the photos showed. It turned out that first three photos in the ad were showing different, bigger apartment than we actually got. We chose this one because it looked spacious, but it was definitely not. We think it’s highly unprofessional to act like that because we spent a lot of money on this place. Additionally, there was a mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and the windows were very dirty. If you come here for a longer stay and you want to prepare meals on the spot, you must know that the kitchen is poorly equipped - a few plates and cuttleries, one pot and one big bowl. It’s possible to cook, as we did, but it was tough. Apart from those shortcomings, the overall experience was good. The jacuzzi on the rooftop was great. The customer service from Athens Stay was nice, responsive, and helpful with everyday inquiries. It’s worth to mention that is really nice bakery next to the building - the bakings are incredible. When it comes to the restaurants, we recommend to take a 10 min walk to Neos Kosmos - there are a few nice places there.
