The apartment is in the center of Athens, at 1st floor, and the location is good even if there are a lot of bars and noise in the evening. Our children were bothered by that noise until bars close at 1am.
The apartment is also quite old. The kitchen doesn’t make you feel like cooking.
The main issue is the bathroom. The flush of the toilets didn’t work well and I have to pull water in pans to help it work.
The bathroom needs to be totally renewed. The shower didn’t work during the 2 first days of our stay and we can’t have a real shower and had only very cold water. It was impossible to make a shampoo or a real shower. It was totally intolerable in Athens in August especially with 3 kids. I can add the towels are tiny and there is mould in the shower place and on the walls. We also had a storm and there was a kind of inondation in the bathroom.
We had to claim for assistance on Airbnb which was a premiere for us.
To be fair, I must say that our host was quite reactive. We told her about the problem the day of our arrival, she came the day after and called for a plumber who came the day even after. But I can’t believe that our host could ignore the issue with the shower. They tried to fix it before with a strange system that didn’t work at all and the problem was obvious.
I felt really disappointed with this apartment for our first stay in Athens.
If you like clean and peaceful places, don’t rent this place.
