The whole experience was amazing and I don't know really where to begin, so I have broken this down into categories that I feel will help others really understand the benefits of such an amazing stay.
1) Location
We stayed as a family of 7, including small children. The area in which the Apartment is located is extremely well positioned and extremely safe. Police patrol the area often, and there is a clear significant lack of street beggars in comparison to other areas of Athens.
The Apartment itself is directly opposite all amenities including restaurants, shops, pharmacies and more. It is also on a road that Taxis pass by every day which is great if you need to get there and back any hour of the day.
I felt very safe walking alone at night here and this is not something I would normally write when travelling in Athens.
The Apartment is on the 5th floor but this is not a problem, as there is a full working lift that is clean and even had lift music!
The Apartment is in both walking and public transportation distance to all major tourist attractions, but by not being at the centre of the tourist circus you not only experience 'true' Greece, but you also avoid the crime that is attracts and the manic hustle and bustle.
2) Hosts
The hosts were just amazing in every way. All communication was prompt and polite and they could not do enough to help us. We had a slight mishap where we misplaced a key, and within an hour the hose had arrived with another and to assist letting us in.
When we arrived they took there time to show us round and made sure we knew where all the amenities were and that we knew how to work everything in the apartment itself.
The host even helped me carry the cases up himself when we arrived. We had continuous communication with them through out our time staying there and nothing was too much trouble.
Even upon arriving home and realising I had forgot something they immediately got back to me and were able to help.
3) The Apartment
The Apartment was everything that we anticipated and more. I was very sceptical about Airbnb being our first time, but I have to say I have been blown away. We may as well have been in a hotel with this Apartment. It was clean, spotless in fact, and had the finishing touches added that made you feel you really were in a home from home.
Each room had its own TV with Netflix and youtube in addition to the national channels, which is rare and the lighting was amazing. I know mentioning lighting is a strange thing, but when you are getting ready you need to be able to see! The kitchen was compact but completely equipped with everything you would need to host a banquet!
The bathrooms were very clean and very well finished and everything worked very well.
In addition to everything else there was a hoover, hairdryers, iron and ironing board available for those like minded OCD folk!
4) Relaxing
If you want a completely trustworthy, relaxing experience from start to finish I highly recommend that you book this apartment. You will not be disappointed. The professionalism and clear training in customer service puts them at 5* for satisfaction.
I really hope you enjoy your stay and my review helped.
Happy Holidays
