We didn't meet the host but communication was good before our arrival and during our stay. We manage to find the place to collect the keys at a nearby shop. Apartment was located near the Panathenaic Stadium, perfect location for us as my husband ran the Athens Marathon. The apartment is also walking distance to the metro station Evangalismos and also easy to walk to other areas in Athens. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove and big oven, fridge, spices, tea etc. There is a big balcony with a small table and chairs to sit outside. Apartment is on the 5th floor with elevator. Comfy bed and pillows, we got good sleep on the night throughout our stay. We were at the top floor, no noisy neighbours on the night. AC doubles up as heater which takes a while to warm the room on the night.
However, I do feel the need to point out the downsides of this apartment. There was a bit of a confusion with the shop owner when we arrived to collect the keys. We also noticed there were some missing essentials. No dish washing liquid provided. We had to soak the dishes/cups with hot water and later rinse them (We didn't think it was worth buying our own dish detergent for a stay that's less than a week). Took us a while to find the wifi password; we wanted to send the host a message after we checked-in. Information paper was stacked on the shelf between some other brochures and the big metro map. One of the mornings, we were woken up by neighbours opposite doing loud repair works. Fortunately, they only did that one morning. There were only two toilet rolls provided, we stayed for 6 days. No soap/shower gel, just shampoo. Since the cleaning fee was quite high, we expected coffee as mentioned in their survey sheet, enough toilet rolls and also a dish detergent. Despite all this, we'd still recommend this place for the location and responsive host.
