it was BAD EXPERIENCE.
Here are some reasons :
1: It was self check-in/out with keys placed in an unlocked key box outside the building. We felt totally un-secure if someone else(Stranger) went to the apartment before or after we left. and we get the blame.
2: It said in the toilet no hand papers into the toiled seat. and we did not threw any except towel papers. and the host complained about it, that it blocks the drainage. We wish there was a better instruction that you can not throw and toilet papers into the seat. We have been to many European countries and outside and never encountered this but this was first experience. We did not like the way our host started to argue over text about it. Instead the host should have done a better job explaining in the rules or welcome note in restroom to not to throw any-kind of papers in the toilet seat.
3: We found an iron pin in the duvet cover. It was to hold the duvet tight in its cover. we were lucky that it did not poke our eyes.
4: Dirty water glass and other kitchen dishes. I wish the host did a better job cleaning, after the guests leave. you could easily find hand marks on the kitchen use stuff.
5: No matter how much we cared while showering, the water was ending up on the toilet floor. You have to hold the shower in one hand to take a shower, there is no mount.
6: Thin curtains: So you can`t sleep till late.
7: House rules on airbnb was Greek language
8: Wrong wifi code in airbnb description so we had to contact our host to get the code.
9: Toilet flush was blocked and its really old system. Not recommended at all.
10: Its over priced as compare to what you get
11: You see nice and attractive pictures in the advertisement but its not really that nice.
12: There were drainage problem during our stay and we had to use towels to keep the floor dry in restroom. The host knew about it but did not say anything during our stay. and when we told her, she said yes I know and i have already ordered the plumber.
13: Really old Pillows and only two. You really need to change the pillows.
14: The fridge in the kitchen does not do any cooling, We tried to change the temperature in it but it does not work.
15: Bed was not comfortable.
16: We arrived on Saturday evening and next day was Sunday and most of the shops around were closes. The host left only two toilet paper rolls for us for the entire stay. We stayed from Saturday to Tuesday. As a host you should be thoughtful about these things and if not providing enough toilet papers than at-least make sure that the guest is properly informed about these things in the description etc. We did not ask for more toilet paper to our from host but instead went on to b ourself.
Note: This was not our first time staying with an airbnb, but we have stayed with many so we know how it works and we host sometimes in Norway ourself.
up sides :
1: Good parking space
2: nice speakers with Radio
3: AC works but we wish it was in the same room as the bedroom so that we could close bed room sliding door.
4: View from terrace to Akropolis. You have to step out to terrace to have a view but not from inside your bedroom or when you are inside
5: Your private terrace space.
6: All basic cutlery
