Despina’s apartment was great. The location is great - very close to Exarchia square with a lot of restaurants and bars, and to the Archaeological museum, and an easy walk to everything I wanted to see in Athens. I was very happy to be staying in Exarchia while in Athens, as it is far less touristy than some other neighborhoods and has great young lefty activist character.
I would definitely come back if I make it back to Athens anytime soon. Despina greeted me at the apartment and sat with me for a bit to give recommendations in the neighborhood for food, drinks, and groceries. And after I left my plug adapter, she very nicely set up a time to return it to me when I passed back through Athens a few days after checking out.
A previous reviewer noted that the photos don’t reflect the apartment - that’s sort of true, but only because she’s changed the decor a bit, so the living room has some different furniture in it now than are in the pictures. If anything, though, I thought it was more comfortable and welcoming.
