Esi was one of the most warm and welcoming hosts we have met through airbnb.
My husband and I arrived late at the apartment and Esi and her friend greeted us warmly and showed us some of their favorite sites to see around Athens, marking each clearly on a map that she provided.
The apartment is lovely and spacious with huge windows and plenty of light. There are two small balconies where you can hang your clothes or have a drink.
We were pleasantly surprised by Esi's attention to the little details, such as providing a universal adapter, an iron, a clothes rack, and cotton swabs.
We were so happy she had a washing machine, as we were both down to our last outfit.
Her communication was excellent before, during, and after our stay. She even checked back with us to make sure we made it home safely.
The apartment is across the street from a small park where children were often playing and the neighborhood felt very safe to walk, day and night. One of the best meals we had was actually at the restaurant right outside the apartment building's front door.
The apartment is also very near the Olympic Stadium, which was one of our favorite sites to visit and definitely worth the price of admission. From there, it is a short walk to the beautiful National Gardens, Plaka, and the Acropolis.
All in all, we had a lovely stay and our only regret was that we had to go home so soon.
