The host was warm and friendly. She welcome us with a bread and a bottle of wine on our arrival. I totally understand that she wanted to be helpful, but I just felt disappointed to find out that she extended the stay of the previous guests and put us into so-called luxurious four-star hotel rooms, which went moldy, for the first night of our stay in Athens. Moreever, I don't see the point of having a landline phone in the flat which can't reach the host on the mobile. We had to use our British mobile phone to call her up.

The neighbourhood is safe and convenient. The flat is well equipped and modernly designed, with spacious living room and bedrooms. However, the internet was not working and it took two days to fix it. There is a trick to turn on the washing machine, which the host did not tell us when we met. The water tank is not large enough, hence the second person has to wait a bit after the first one finishes his/her shower. Lastly, we had to ask for duvets. The host provided blankets, which were not warm enough for Athens in June.
