The neighborhood was as described, very near and walkable to everything we needed in Athens, yet the apartment was on a quiet mostly residential street . The apartment itself was beautifully homey and well appointed. Our host was very welcoming and helpful prior to our arrival as well as greeting us there very warmly. She arranged things for us as well as provided a thorough guide to Athens that she had compiled. This was our first airbnb experience and it exceeded all expectations and hopes in every way. We will be traveling this way from now on!
